Jimmy and family,
I know Betty is with our Lord and Savior and reunited with our family members who have gone on before her. I know you will miss her. But, it will bring you peace knowing she is without pain and suffering. She now has a perfect body. May the Lord be with you through this difficult time. He will bring you comfort and peace. Thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers in the coming days.

Love,
Teresa (James Jones' daughter)

Through this world I sadly roamed. With no place to call my own. Friends and love ones, will be waiting on that shore
that heavenly shore. Mom and Dad who she adores
she will see, them on that shore. Jesus her eyes behold, Sweat Rose
of sharon in a city paved with gold. Just like the songs she sang with the Reids.
How beautiful Heaven is to me. Just in the distance she sees Bobby
walking with Jesus on this beautiful shore.
Jimmy and Darrin who she loves so dearly. Mary Sue and Carloyn her
beloved sisters someday we will be rejoined in this city. What a day
that will be.

James and Darrin: As you know Sister Betty Lou was one of our favorite people in all the world. She has know much more than her share of suffering. It is my belief that she is at this very moment continuning with her homecoming with Atch and Sister Ella Ann. I have never known a more supporting family. It has been our great honor to have known and been friends with your family over these many years. May God's richest blessings be upon you particularly at this time of passing .
