It is just a little over a week, that, You were laid to rest, Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again.

In less than a week we will join together as a family to lay you to rest. I am afraid that this will be one of the last times that we will all join together. We all have such different lives going in different directions. Mothers Day is just around the corner and I know that it will be a difficult day. I love you and miss you.

Mom,
Thank you for carrying me through my Grand Opening. I know more than anything that you would have been there in person if you could. You would have loved the jewelry department. The 'boys" are doing well....almost. Piper has run away twice. The last time I found him on the off ramp of the interstate. I think he is upset with me because of the hours and days that I have been working. So...I am doing my best to get home on time and give him the attention he needs and the walks that he loves. I wish he knew that I need him more than he needs me. Rockie just goes with the flow. I miss you and love you, forever.
Cathy

It was a short time ago. God saw Betty getting tired and a cure was not to be. So God put his arms around her and whispered "Come with Me" In tears we watched her suffer and saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A heart of gold stopped beating, hard working hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. "We miss you dearly."

Dear Mr. Scherer & family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of Betty. We have never met, but your daughter Cathy is an extension of my family. My son Michael and Cathy have been friends for years when they worked for Target. Cathy was there for me when my wife Mary Jo passed away four years ago. I miss having her join me and my son's for those Thanksgiving dinners.
Cathy always spoke with love when we talked of you and Betty. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family this and every day.
God Bless you.

Good Morning Dear, Every morning you would wake up early, and prod me in my sleep, asking did it snow last night, with the blinds still drawn, I would say I don't know, you would ask? Why don't you know, finally the last morning, You asked, I said I don't know, because I did not hear it snow, Dear, I woke up this morning, and I waited for you to asked Me, I did not hear You.

Betty touched many lives in the kindness she showed & the love she brought to everyone.
We were happy to have known Betty here in Winter Haven, but also in Minnesota.

Mom,
I have the utmost respect for how you treated people. You were kind, generous, selfless, gentle, humble, and had a great sense of humor. I don't think I ever heard you say a negative word about anybody. It didn't go unnoticed. The world lost a "good person" last week.

It's been a week and today seems harder than any. I have your pictures, I have your blanket, I have your necklace and the earrings, but most importantly I have you in my heart.
"I know you're there, a breaths not far from where you are...." I love you and miss you.

Mom - I miss you so much. There are not words to express how much I miss you.
I promised you that I would look after Dad and the kids. I will.
I am so blessed to be your child. Your unconditional love was beyond comprehension. Thank you.
I can hear you right now, "Everything will be all right Cindy, everything will be just fine." I'm glad that I have those words and your hugs in my heart. I miss you and will always love you. Thank you for loving me unconditionally.

I went back to work today. It was hard until I got to share stories about you. People called and asked about me but all I wanted to do was to talk about you. You are and forever will be in my heart. I sleep with your blanket and know that it is you with your arms wrapped around me keeping me warm and safe. I love you.

Mom, it was an honor to take care of you during the last week. when I was a child, you wiped my face clean, I got to clean yours. You changed my diaper, I helped change yours. You held my hand when I was scared, I held yours. You watched over me, I watched over you. You so loved me, I loved you so much. I'am proud to be Your son, David.

Mom,
You were so beautiful to the very end. After I drove home today, all I wanted to do was to call you and say I made it safely. You will be so deeply every day. Dad will be okay. We will all look after Dad. You would have been so proud of Alex, Amy Jo and Stacy. They were so beautiful.
I love you so much.
