Wayne, Sambo and the entire Ackerman family:

I want to extend my sincere condolences for your loss.

I will always cherish the good times we all had at Six Mile PH Church worshipping together, and of course those trips to Shoney's in Mt Pleasant after services were Betty would have everyone laughing telling one of her funny stories.

I can just imagine that Betty is in her white garment robe singing with the angels and all those who have gone on before us, such as Bro and Sis Ackerman, Clifton and others. In fact maybe Sis Ackerman is playing on that heavenly piano as Betty prepares to sing.

My prayer is that God strengthen you and your families during this most difficult time. Take comfort in knowing that Betty has made it to heaven to live with our Lord Jesus Christ forever.

Your family has and always will be very dear to my heart.

Sincerely,

Christy DeWell

Barbara and I really enjoyed all of the good times we had together. We love you. You have always been a blessing to me and I know that you have blessed other people as well. I know you are in Heaven and I know that God has you in just the right choir with the singing of the angels. You are deeply missed but I know that you are in Heaven. I will make you very proud of me.

Dear Mama,
I love you very much and I already miss you being here with me or talking to you on the phone. I want you to know that you were never a burden to me and I would've done anything to be able to take care of you longer. I will always treasure the memories I have of you and especially when the clown came into your hospital room. I will cherish the last photo of us knowing that you took all the strength you could muster to sit up and smile. I will never forget being able to sing with you in the hospital, what a blessing it will be to be able to think back on those days. Well, Momma, you fought a good fight and kept the faith and now you have received your reward. I know that you are rejoicing with Clifton and finally are able to hold your grandson, Little Ronnie.
I am going to keep my promise and I will see you when God calls me home.
Your loving daughter,
Teresa.

Granny- You are missed by so many. We all love you very much. You would be so proud of everyone, we have been working very hard to make sure all of your wishes are fulfilled, you probably already know that though. (all except your dress, I am very sorry about that, but mom said you would understand) I have so many great memories of you and I together and they will be forever in my heart. I know time heals all wounds, but losing you has my heart broken in two and I don't know if there is enough time in the world to heal the loss of you. God is our strength, and I know you would want us to depend on Him. So for now and until eternity, I always have and always will love you!
Love- Your Granddaughter, Vonna.
