Roy, Diane & Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Betty's passing. I know she had been in failing health for quite some time and at least now you know she is in God's hands free of pain. May you all hold on to the fond memories you have of her. She was always such a sweet, kind and loving lady who really enjoyed giving to others, especially her baking goodies. Since Dillard has been falling several times and getting around poorly we may not be able to get to the services but please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We love you.
