Karen and family,
I have such wonderful memories of your Mom. My favorite memory was our school trip to DC. Our two Mom's had more fun than we did - they were like silly school girls that day. I'm sure we were mortified at the time, but what great memories now. My Mom died last August so I know the loss you are feeling. I pray God provides you with an abundance of peace and comfort.

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Betty but then I remembered the words she spoke to me the last time I saw her. She was ready to meet the Lord and be reunited with Ray. Those words gave me a sense of peace in knowing that Betty was a happy lady the day the Lord took her home. She was devoted to her church and family and I know she will be missed. She always had a big hug and a warm heart to greet you and I will cherish those moments. The days ahead will be hard as I am sure you found out when Ray passed away. However, there is a since of pride and peace in knowing she is in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this time.
Love,
David, Debbie (Frango), Jacob, Justin, and Jenna Boitnotte

Pam, Karen, Charles & family,
We are so sorry to hear about Betty's death. She was a wonderful lady, with so much kindness and sincerity. I didn't get to see Betty a whole lot but when I did she always had a warm smile, gentle spirit and a kind heart. I never heard her say anything bad. She was always very supportive of our family and had this wonderful gift of compassion for everyone and a positive influence. She uplifted people with her encouraging ways and was a gift to everyone that knew her. Betty was the real thing. I know today she is in God's loving arms. I pray that you will find peace in knowing she is in heaven and comfort in all the wonderful memories you have of her, I know there are many. We all will greatly miss Betty, she was one of God's angels.
Love & Prayers

Betty was a special, sweet friend at the "Y" that I could always expect encouragement and kindness from. Being handicapped and very unsure of myself when I began there, Betty was one of the first people to greet me. Her love for others and her Lord was very quickly evident. I will miss her as I'm sure her family does. I have lifted you all up to the Father knowing He will provide all your needs out of His great riches as you walk this path.

Dear Pam and all of Betty's family,
I think Betty was one of the most amazing women I have ever known. She was always doing for others and was such a loving and kind person. She will be missed my many people. What pleasant memories you have of her to sustain you.

So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She will always be a memory from my childhood and beyond. Your mother Betty Jane and her sister Norma Jean were two of my sister's Betty Jean's best friends growing up. Years later she and Ray moved into the little white house behind Hite's Drugstore where we had lived previously. I went to visit them there a few times and we laughed about our paths crossing again. She was a very special person and will be truly missed.

Betty was an amazing lady always smiling and full of love and laughter. I was amazed at how strong she was and not just physically. She was a real sweety and made you feel special just knowing her. I will miss her smile at the Y where she was one tough cookie! Love Heidi D. forever your personal trainer in the am.

I did not personally know Betty. She was a dear friend to my sister, Laura, who is disabled. She did so much to help my sister. She ran errands and drove her to church every week. I spoke with her on Saturday and thanked her for all she was doing to help my sister. She told me it was her way of serving The Lord. She was a wonderful lady!
I am praying for her family as they grieve her loss. I am sure she is in Heaven face to face with her Savior and will be there to greet us one day when we join her in Heaven.
God bless you Betty!

Dear Pam and Family,
What a legacy Betty has left for all who have been blessed to know her. She poured out love everywhere, always giving and never expecting anything in return. I pray the good memories you have of her will give you some peace and comfort in these difficult days.
In the grip of His grace,
