I am truly greatful to have had the opportunity to know Betty for so many years. She was a beautiful woman, strong, and her love for her family so sincere. She knew me at my worst and lowest and I am so glad she was able to see me at my highest. Having her and Bob at our wedding meant more to John and I than you will know. Betty, you were a perfect soul and I know you will enjoy this next part of your journey. Your spirit will surround us always! I love you and we will miss you! Blessed be. Peace be with your family and may the sadness fade quickly. Love, Kirsten and John
