Another year but my love for Betty and Ernue does not diminish. They "adopted" me during the Honor Flight. Betty even through her medical issues always sought me out during monthly breakfasts. Betty and Ernie were such loving and caring people. Gone but not forgotten RIP with you Lord and Savior. Ron, fellow WingNut.

I met Betty on Honor Flight #14. She was a wonderful outgoing person. Spending time with Betty and Ernest on the flight and then at monthly breakfasts was delightful. I moved away and unfortunately lost contact. My loss, God Bless. Ron Willey

One of the nicest ladies I have ever met and a true and loyal friend. She can't be beat. I miss her letters so much.

Mom. It´s been almost a year since your passing and a lot has changed. But what hasn´t changed is how much I miss you each and every day.

I am so sorry to learn of Betty's passing. She was dedicated tutor at Kern Literacy Council for 17 years, the last view working with a group of moms learning English at Frank West Elementary School. We loved it when she and Ernie would stop by to say hello. Her memory is for blessing. Please let me know if we have not already missed the services.

Our mom was a role model. She worked a full time job in a time when many moms stayed home to raise their children. She was a strong dependable person who we could always depend upon. She loved her family and we loved her back. We will miss her terribly.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Please take comfort in the words found at 2nd Thessalonians 2:16,17.

I met Betty in 1962 when I went to work with her at the Kern County Land Company. Over the many years she has been the most loyal and true friend ever. She was a bridesmaid in my first wedding, there for me when I lost my first husband in 1968 and attended the wedding to my second husband in 1973. She was the one friend that was always there. We will miss her so much! Ernie, Reagan and Meredith our prayers and thoughts are with you as you face the future.
