God needed another angel up in heaven. He chose one of the kindest, sweetest,and lovable sister a brother could ask for.I'm going to miss you and my heart aches but I know one day we will be together again for eternity and there will be no more pain just joy and laughter. Love you and p.s. put a good word in to God for your brother.
Mike, Lori and rest of family, I am so sorry to hear
about Betty's passing. I loved this lady to the moon
and back. She was one of the sweetest and kindest
people you could ever know. I won't be able to get
to the service due to health problems of my own.
However, please know you all are in my thoughts and
prayers. I love you all and may God bless.
