Just wanted to thank everyone for their condolences, it really means a lot to the entire family. Grandma was a wonderful woman and we will all miss her very much! It sure is going to be different without her smiling face around here. She cared so much for ALL of her friends and especially her family! I’m sure most of you that knew her had nothing but fond memories, I know I sure do! Grandma never complained about anything! She loved spending time with her family more than anything in the world. I sure know that I am going to miss her, but at least she is in a better place and watching over us.
I love you Grandma, and will never forget you!
R.I.P and I will be seeing you some day!
I know right now you are watching over us all, and can’t wait to see us again in you home in heaven!
Love you!!!!
My heartfelt love and prayers go out to the entire family for your loss. Betty was a wonderful and beautiful person. I will cherish her memory. Know that I am with you all through this sad time. I will pray for your healing. Gima and Calvin
