Our prayers and good wishes are shared with the family and friends of Betty Lou. I haven't seen Betty Lou in many years. I knew her as a fun loving, good humored, cousin when I stayed in the hospitable home of Aunt Annie and Uncle Charlie while picking summer peaches for Mr. K. The entire famikly always welcomed me and we had great fun working and playing together.

I am pleased to see that she has moved on in her life to be a disciple of Christ who has been an asset and blessing to her family and her community.

May your love for each other, your strong faith in God, and an abundance of noble memories sustain you in these days.

Kevin,



No Bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I wanted to comment on the funeral. If anyone went away from the funeral without being uplifted, I feel for them. Your mom would have been very proud of you! She was an inspiration to everyone she came in contact with. As

Mr. English said......she was a woman of virtue. May you continue to feel the present of our Almighty God around you in this time of need. I know that your mother will be sadly missed by my family, but I still have the memories of when we had get togethers. You are in my prayers.

I have a picture from the mid fifties and your mom is smiling.Take comfort in knowing one day we will all be smiling again and never shed tears of grief. I'll

see you there. May God comfort you and your family

Kevin,

So sorry for your loss. I know how hard this is for you. Your Mother taught you about The Lord and that is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child. Praise Him for the wonderful parents He blessed you with and the wonderful relationship you were able to have with them. Glad to know that your fiancee is there to help you with your grief. Take Care.

My dearest Kevin,

You mother was the kindest soul and truly one of God's angels here on Earth. I'm honored to have had her as an Aunt and will always cherish our times together. Although the Lord has called her home, she will always be with us. It makes it a little easier to know that your mother and father are in Heaven watching over us.



Although parted my thousands of miles, you are always in my heart and prayers.



Love to you always,

Michele (Brizendine) Ballenger

Kevin, my prayers are with you at this time.

I knew your mother when she was a little girl, singing with her sisters, Peggy and Carolyn, with Doris playing the piano for them. Also, I knew Burnell and your grandparents, Charlie and Annie Cadd. They were a special family and I am so glad to have known them. Trust the Lord will comfort you when you need Him most.

I worked with Betty in 1968-69 at the Health Dept. Being a new bride and new to the area and the work force, Betty, quickly became a good friend to me. I cherish the time we spent working together even if it was a short two years. May God comfort all the family in the loss of your precious loved one.

To Kevin & family:



We loved Betty so much. She was a wonderful person and a great Christian. You never saw her without her smile. My husband (Kevin) thought a lot of her too. He always called her his Homeroom Mom because she always made our Sunday School class refreshments. She will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
