My deepest sympathy to Bettys family. I could come into work very early in the morning and maybe not be in a good mood, then I would here that laugh. Betty got us smiling every time. She will be missed by all of you, I am sure.

Dear Virgil and Lloyd, Of course you know how much I loved your mother and still remember many wonderful memories of when you two were just young boys riding on our Sunday School Bus. I just visited with your mom at the First Church 100 year Celebration.
We both let out a screech when we saw each other. I always loved her laughter, joy and how she could make anyone feel like we were already up in Heaven with that charming love of hers. Well now she is the lucky one. She is up in Heaven smiling down on all
of us. But remember guys we will be able to join her again sometime soon and we will all rejoice together. I will miss your mom. She holds a very special spot in my heart and memory. I will keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers that God will give you peace
and serenity of how much she really loved you two also.

So sorry to hear of Betty's passing, she was a friend and co-worker, and I served on the credit Union board with her. She had a smile for everyone. She will be missed.

Lawrence, You and your family have my deepest sympathy. It will be hard without your mother but God will be with you. He will help heal your heart. Your memories of your mother will help you through the days ahead. Just remember to be absent from the body
is to be present with the Lord. God loves you all.
