I will miss Betty and the joy I had being neighbors with her. She was fun and interesting and kind and she could make a mean pot of coffee. Most of all she loved her family unreservedly.

Dear Lisa and Family – You and your Mom were my extended family. I loved you both with all my heart. Betty is now at peace, no more hurting, no more worries, just peace. I have so many wonderful sincere memories we have shared. I will forever treasure them. My heart is full having you both in my life. I will always remember our garage sales, dinner or breakfast at Cracker Barrel, playing scrabble, and the time I stayed with Lisa at your home. We had so much fun. Thank you Lisa and family – I love you all with all my heart. God Bless you all. Prayers for your entire family,
