Betty was my friend and neighbor. We have had many wonderful conversations and visits during these past six years I have lived across the street from her. What a beautiful person and soul she was! I will miss her. She loved her family and glowingly spoke of each one. God bless all of you during this time.
I am so sorry I will not be able to attend the service on Friday. Betty Jane and I were best friends from grade school through high school. She was a special person and I will miss our long phone conversations. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God bless you.
I pray that your mom has found peace in heaven. Continuing to lift you and your family up in prayer.
We will miss our precious neighbor. We thought so much of your Mother and always enjoyed visiting with her when she was outside with her dog.
If there is anything we can ever do, please do not hesitate to call.
We are sad we cannot be there Friday but you will be in our thoughts and our prayers.
You have been thru so much lately. Please take time for yourself soon.
Jerry and Carolyn Kincade
my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
