For years Betty was my 8:30 Thursday hair client, she always came with a big smile every week, even when her memory was gone and her body was bedridden when I would go over and cut her hair at home she always had a big smile for me.....Betty also had a wonderful husband Cal for a caregiver, He is a perfect example of a help meet in everyway....I think of Betty now healed and whole with Jesus, checking out the place he has prepared for the rest of her family, after losing both parents I choose to think of death as the doorway to heaven for those who love the Lord, and I know Betty was one of those. My prayers for peace and comfort to fill those who loved her, she will be missed by many. My love to all the family, Diana

I did not know Mrs. Bayne, I seemed to have missed that pleasure although living so close for so many years,but based on my knowledge of her family she had to have been a truly exceptional lady. May you all finally find peace in the knowledge of her love.
