Uncle Bill, Roy and I were so sorry to hear that Aunt Betty died. We want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I remember as a child how Aunt Betty used to take care of me when I was sick and couldn't go to school and Mom had to work. She always tried to make me comfortable. And she loved to make chocolate cake! I also cherish the times we had as a family at Thanksgiving at Grammie's house. Also it was great to see you both when you came to Florida to visit several years ago. It will be nice to see you again on the 30th when Mom and I fly up. Aunt Betty will truly be missed.
Love, Roy and Linda

Words cannot express our deepest sympathies to all of you. Betty was a special lady and I’m so glad we knew her. We all will miss seeing and talking to her at all the sporting events, she was so supportive of not only her family but our entire sports community. So full of life and giving to all, especially the love that she had for all of you, her family, always praising and sharing all your accomplishments, she was so very proud of each and every one of you.
Hold all your memories close as they will get you through these difficult times.
Our thoughts and Prayers are with you,

Uncle Bill,
We are deeply saddened to hear of your loss. However our memories of you and Aunt Betty will never be forgotten. I remember watching Ed Sullivan with you both on a Sunday night (on your black and white television). Then there were all the Thanksgivings together at Grandma’s. Denise and I especially cherish the time you both came to visit us at Satellite Beach. Aunt Betty always had a contagious laugh and good anecdote to share.
Know that we are praying for you. May the Lord bless and comfort you.
With love,

My thoughts go back to the night Betty was at a party at Kellie's and my apartment. Kellie played a trick on her by doing a fake seance....when it was over, Betty had black soot all over her face. Goodness, did she laugh over that! She was such a good sport about the whole thing. She often brought that up in our conversations even 18 years later! My thoughts also go back to the hundreds of games I would see Betty at, cheering on the Tigers. Her feistiness and energy would always put a smile on my face.
I am deeply saddened by her passing, but do find relief when I think about her being with HIM. She will help the Almighty run a tight ship up in heaven, for sure!
The love that she had for her family and friends was unique and special. You are all loving, compassionate and giving people.....truly a product of Betty and Bill. She has blessed us all with her charm, whit, spontaneity and energy.....what a classy woman!
Betty, until we meet again......
God Bless all of you! She will forever be in our hearts!

Dear Bill & family: We were so surprised to hear of Betty's death. She was a wonderful lady, always smiling and giving of herself. She made lots of memories with you, her friends in family in the gym at the old FHS and last time I went to a game in the new FHS there the two of you were still taking up your seats in the bleachers.
Betty was a role model for all people when it came to giving of herself to help others.
I am sure she will be missed by everyone who has ever had the pleasure of working or being with her.
Our thoughts are with you, Bill, Wild Bill and Tiger.

She touched so many lives by her simple acts of kindness and love. She cheered for every team whether they won a state championship or lost every game. She loved her family, friends, community and its athletes unconditionally. What a lesson we should all learn from her. I cannot quite put into to words how deeply she will be missed. On behalf of the athletes and coaches of Farmington High School, thank you Betty! I hope you have a great view from your new bleacher seat in heaven.
