"Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear."
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ~Matthew 11:28
May you be comforted not only by your cherished memories of your Mom but also by our loving Father's peace and love.
Much Love, Dale and Mark
Betty was a hard worker and was gifted with many talents and creativity. She could turn anything into a picture of beauty from her landscaping and interior decorating to her oil paintings.
She was full of life and determination and was always busy with one project after another. If there was a way, she would find it.
She loved her little dachshund and treated her like a human.
I know that there will be a lot of PINK in heaven now that Betty's there and now when we see a beautiful PINK sunset we'll know that Betty painted it for us to enjoy.
Betty was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed by all whose life she touched.
