    Obit message: Dear Family, I read your dear loved one’s obituary and it is very clear that she was a giving and kind person. No matter the age, when we lose someone in death it leaves a huge hole in our hearts. May your hearts be soothed by the Bible’s loving promise of the resurrection found at John 5:28,29; John 11:32-44; Acts 24:15. I send you my deepest sympathy for your loss.

    So sorry to hear about Betty. We used to carpool together many years ago to Westinghouse and had many meals together at Hunter's Crossing. We had some fun & great times together. She was such a gracious loving friendly happy lady. I saw her this summer at Hot Dog World. She was often in my thoughts and you all will be in my prayers.
