I am so sorry for your loss. May “the God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God’s Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time.

Many, many wonderful memories of the most gracious, warm and loving person that I have known for as long as I can remember.
Betty will be deeply missed by all that knew and loved her. God Bless all of her family and keep loving thoughts and feelings close to you forever.

What wonderful memories we have of Betty as our next door condo neighbor. We had wonderful chats just standing in our driveways. She had gone to school in Bozeman with Linda’s dad so was always willing to share a story of two of her youth. Our lives are blessed for having known Betty. Our thoughts and prayers to the family.
