You will definitely be missed with those gentle prayers and talks, those encouraging words those warm hugs. You were a queen that wore many crowns. You were a role model to me and my children. You showed me how to conduct myself as a young and you definitely inspired me to continue to be a prayer warrior. You have pass on so much wisdom, I am just grateful to be connected to you, not just by blood but spiritual as well. I love you and you know it because I told you every chance I got. Rest well aunt Betty Jean you will be missed!

I am so sorry to hear of Ms Betty´s passing. She was a loving lady. She took care of both of my daughters at daycare. She then taught my granddaughter in K4. Prayers to her family.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

Brother Tony and Family, you all have my deepest condolences and prayers on the loss of your loved one. May the God of Comfort, Peace, Love and Strength be with you all in your time of bereavement.

Love, Peace, Comfort
