To the loving Sons & all the dear Family & Friends may I offer my sympathy in the painful loss of your dearly loved Betty. She was a wonderful woman who had the love of her Family and all those she met along the way in her life.Hopefully you will find a measure of comfort & peace in the following Bible Verses. Rev21:4-5 “AND HE WILL WIPE OUT EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES AND DEATH WILL BE NO MORE THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY.”

I would like to express my sincerest condolences. My mom, Arlene Johnson and Betty were great friends. My Mom misses her so very much. She always said that Betty raised five nice boys and their families are all so good to Betty. I am happy for all the years of friendship Betty shared with my Mom. I share in your sorrow at her passing. I pray for God to give you peace. Sincerely Nancy Johnson
