My Betty Boop, losing you is like losing my mom all over again. You were a special part of our lives. You will always have as special spot in my heart. I can hear the chinga-lingas spinning. When I hear it, it warms my heart to know you two are at peace. Together raising hell in Heaven, so behave yourselves before you get kicked out. I need some connections there to help me get in. Love you n miss you ALWAYS and FOREVER! XOXOX

My deepest condolences goes out to the family! She knew both my daddy and my brother. My daddy (Tommy Davis) retired in 1983 from the Post Office, and my brother (Mark Davis) had to take medical retirement in 2005 from the Post Office. I always remember seeing her smile, and was always so full of life. R.I.P. Betty Jean!

Those days when Betty gave, laughed, cried and stayed faithful were made so much more by Betty's gift of acceptance, caring, sense of adventure & total commitment to those she loved. Our personal lives were made richer by her! She always added to other more thanshe ever took. Love you forever & looking forward to being forever in the Joy of the Lord!

Someone new has entered
our eternal home above.
The heavenly gate has opened wide
to welcome the one you love.
We cannot help the tears that fall-
our hearts need time to grieve
when earthly life has ended
and a loved one has to leave.
Yet even in the saddest time,
we know our Savior lives,
and we can trust completely
in the promise that he gives.
That in a glad reunion with the Lord,
our loved ones wait
to welcome us in joy
with no more tears
beyond the gate!
With great sadness, I let you go Aunt Betty...For I know that you are with family and friends that were waiting to welcome you into glory..
Love...
Kimberly and Kenley

My regret is I didn't get to say this directly to Betty...
Betty, you were straight and truthful with me when others were full of deception. Always telling me what I needed to hear instead of the sugar coating I wanted to hear and believe.
You were steadfast in a world of lies.
Your strength and character will be remembered.
