Dear Johnathan and family, I didn’t know sweet Betty very well or for very long, but I know this: she was a kind, considerate, caring, understanding, accepting woman. She was beautiful inside and out. She always smiled no matter what! And the smile was contagious! She enjoyed life and loved to talk and laugh. I wish I had known her longer! I’m so sorry that I’m not able to be there to pay respects, but please know that I loved Betty and I love you and you are in my thoughts and prayers constantly. Please get a hold of me soon Johnathan and call me if there is anything I can do! Love and prayers, Amy
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of sweet, fun Aunt Betty. She was so loved.
There are no words to heal your broken heart. No one knows your pain. It is as unique as you are. Tears can pour from your eyes and you may ask why has someone so good and dear been taken from us. What reason does GOD have for giving us life and then taking it away? Know we each serve a purpose in the life and death. Your mom was a gift to all. She will be rewared in her eternal rest . You are loved and thought of by all your co-workers in your time of sorrow. May the depth of your grief and pain be short lived giving way greater ease and become a celebration of your mom’s life. Love and condolences from Karen.
