Dear Family,
I was sadden to hear of Betty passing. It was an honor and priviledge to know her as she work with the Southeast Alumni Association. May you find comfort in the special moments and memories you share as she was a true Lady.

Betty was such a unique person, she couldn't be pigeon-holed. We lost a truly remarkable woman who will never be forgotten by those of us who loved her.

Dear Brad, Barb and all of Betty's loved ones, you are all in our prayers. When we no longer have the privilege of having our loved ones close here on this earth with us, we do have all the wonderful memories of how our lives intersected and grew very close. It is at a time like this when we hope that those memories bring the comfort that our Lord would intend them too! Know that we are here if you need anything! Robert and Terry Roseberry

Gary, you and Betty's family are very much in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. We hope that knowing that you gave Betty her happiest years will comfort you now. You and she, like St. Paul, stayed the course. You set an example for all whom you touched. God grant you and the children the grace of memory and of peace. Barbara and Ernie
