John & Janis, my heart goes out to you and your loved ones. It isn't easy losing a parent, especially a mother. Being one of her many "children", I treasure the many, many memories I have of her. Not only was she a great mother, she is a special person that helped me be what I am today. She and your Dad taught us how to become scouts, love nature, love one another, have compassion for others and reach out to those in need. I can still see her smiling face standing in your kitchen in Belle Glade. I so looked forward to her Christmas cards to catch up on everything happening in our lives. I pray the peace of the Lord, will help ease your pain in the future. I truely am blessed to have had her in my life, as I do the two of you. May God Bless You and give you peace, until we meet again. I know your mother is up in heaven with our Mom watching down on us thinking...what are those kids getting into now! I Love You Both!!

Janis & John, What I am feeling right now is hard to put into words. I am filled with sorrow of the passing of Aunt Betty. As you know she was a 2nd. Mother to me, I loved her so much and will miss her terribly! I rejoice with the knowledge that she is at peace now and with our lord and savior. She is with mom and they are having a wonderful reunion! Aunt Betty was a wonderful person! I have so many fond memories. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers, and hope to contact you soon. Love, Gayle

Betty was my friend, my Mother-in law and Mother in love. I learned so much from her and loved her. She listened when we talked to each other and never judged me. I miss her very much but I know she is at peace and no longer is in pain. "I love you Mom, and I miss you".
