Betty was full of kindness and cheer. I will miss her sweet and sunny disposition.
I am so sad we lost your Mom she and Dorothy Jones are than last ones I knew from.my childhood. I so remember staying with my Aunt Dot and Uncle Gordon and Say nights at someone’s barn for square dancing and fun. I remember your Uncle Bob Drain and Aunt Betty Jean (I think it was Jean) been a few lol years! I loved your Mom and Dad and all those beautiful people.
The Bible says at Eccleastes 9: 5 and 9 that Jehovah will soon bring them from their “sleep” to life again here on the earth Ps 37:9-11 and verse 29. I cannot wait until I see all of that “crew”! If I had known I would have been there last Friday. My deepest condolences to all of you.
Karen and family, I’m sorry to hear of your loss. I didn’t really know your mom but I know you were doing everything you could to help her. There is a better place where your parents and mine reside now.
Dear Phil,Michelle,Tanner,Mikaela, Karen and extended family,
My heartfelt sympathy for your loss, made even more painful because Betty was so kind and loving.
Thankfully, she was given 95 years to make the world a better place??
Love,Cheryl Alger
Betty was a great aunt and I have many fond memories of her. She was a wonderful person.
