"Betty was such a sweet lady who was important in my life as well. I loved her cards and poems and appreciated the time she took to write them. I am so happy that she is in heaven with our Lord and Saviour as well as my grandparents (Nels and Jewell) and other family members. She will be missed here on earth, but it is a comfort to know that she is no longer in any pain or discomfort. I have to agree with Teresa about the orneriness going on up there. I am sure it has been quite a celebration in heaven. Prayers and hugs for all of those left here on earth who are suffering right now because of this loss. I would like to remind you that there is an opportunity for you to also see her again, but that is only possible through the blood of Jesus Christ. If you have not yet received the gift of salvation I would like to direct you to seek out a Bible teaching/preaching church in your area for more information. Betty - you have been an inspiration and will truly be missed!"
