Betty was a true and wonderful Christian friend. We will never forget her. We praise God she is no longer suffering. She is with Jesus! Wow! I thank God He allowed us to be so close for these past 12 years. My "right hand man" in the music ministry. She taught Barbara H. to cook for lots of people, and she will never forget those great times together. Walter, Nancy, Cindy, Gary and all the family, we love you and are praying for you. Please stay in touch. God's abundant blessings on all of you. Just think, some day soon we'll joib Betty in heaven. Our love, Barbara M and Barbara H. Psalm 23
