  1. My Aunt Betty Jo was a powerful force. She still is. I can just visualize her smiling and singing praises to our Lord Jesus, face to face. The inexpressible joy she’s having as she is greeted by all the loved ones who went before her.
    We will miss her presence on this earth, her laughter and loving heart. But thank God, this earth is not our home. This loss is temporary. We can look forward to the day when we will be reunited in heaven. Such great rejoicing with no more suffering or tears or good-byes.

    Her legacy of love, faith, kindness and integrity lives on in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. It lives on in everyone she helped, prayed for and loved. Love isn’t just a feeling, it’s an action. It’s giving and doing for others. Betty Jo exemplified that type of love, all her life. There’s no doubt in my mind that God welcomed her into heaven saying, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

    Much love and heartfelt condolences to Aunt Betty Jo’s children and all their families.

  2. Dear Diane and Curtis Families,Please know that we are praying peace and comfort at this difficult time. Strength in the coming days for all of you.
    Your parents were both well loved, respected and admired by our Filipino people in our island. They embraced and loved our people and most of all spread the Gospel as well as trained ministers and workers for the Lord. Those they trained are now the leaders of our churches. They built the facilities at Zion Bible College. They planted churches through their leadership at ICI of which two of my sisters worked with them.
    Thank you for sharing your parents with us. They were called Tatay and Nanay as spiritual parents.
    Nanay Betty will be forever in our hearts.
    Celebrating her life,
    Tim and Jing Sullivan

  3. Betty ..she was a very special lady..I can honestly say. She had a determination to live and love life..she was a blessing to all that knew and loved her.i loved hearing about her and pastor Jim’s missionary days. She would grin talking about the Philippine girls fanning her with palm trees branches. She absolutely loved each one of ALL her GRANDCHILDREN and shared her photos often. She was so lucky to have Diane her daughter.she would bring Betty to the mall and my puppy wormed her way into her heart. Miss Molly loved grandma Betty.. we will miss our sweet moments we shared..Miss Molly would often get her slurpie kisses in when Betty wasn’t looking.. Betty let her go for rides on her walker.. it was such a cute sight to see. We will miss her sweet face. So sorry for your loss. KerryAnn and Miss Molly Doggie
