My thoughts and prayers are with Betty’s entire family. I’ve known Betty for over 17 years, ever since we worked together. She was one of my closest friends and my dear confidant. We spent many times talking for hours. Many, if not most of our conversations were filled with laughter. She loved to laugh and have a good time. I will cherish our friendship forever and miss not being able to share with her my innermost thoughts and funny stories. May she rest in our dear Lord’s hands. I love you, Betty.
to betty’s family i want to send my condolences as i have known betty most of my life. will keep meveryone in my prayers and thoughts
To Betty’s family…When those we love have left this earth, we still can feel them near. We’ll see a picture, hear a song, and its just like they are here. And when we call upon our faith, when we believe and trust, we know the ones we care about are always close to us. You all are in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss. I went to visit Betty at Brightwood when at Wilma was there. I sat on her bed and we laughed about all the things she and mom did together. All the fun times we shared and the fun we had when she came to Columbus to visit me. She was a dear friend and I will miss her. May God ease your pain, Yet fill your hearts with all the loving Memories you made with her.
Dear Family: Please accept our deepest sympathy regarding betty’s passing. Love, Friend and Sister in Christ Ruth Henthorn
