I will miss Aunt Betty. She was a wonderful woman and a big part of my life.
August 13, 2021 @ 9:52 pm
Frank, Brent, and Travis.
Sad to hear of your loss. I pray that all of you will find comfort in the Lord as Betty would have wanted. Matthew 6:33 was one of the memory verses she taught me when I was a child. 26 years later she also taught my kids in Sunday School. She was instrumental in the lives of so many young people. I appreciate her service to the work of the Lord and the support your family gave her to allow her to do so. She will be greatly missed.
