Ms. Bettie
I know God had a plan for you when you entered into this earth. I really enjoyed Sundays eating and laughing and just relaxing at your house with Linda, Pat, Creg and Joe. Boy did I laugh so much that we all forgot about the worries of the day. You will always be in my thoughts of how you made this old girl smile. Rest on and take your rest, and one day we will laugh together in Heaven.

Moma Bettie as I called you, it's to Heaven that I send these words.... Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. Walk around Heaven, Sing Hallelujah, Dance before The King and Rest in Your Reward. I love you and miss you, and as I always ended every call, "Thank you Moma Bettie, these people bout to drive me crazy" Julia's Care TS will never be the same.

Kim I will continue to pray and lift you and Collin up before the King that you may find strength and comfort in the time to come. I know that beyond any and everything, God will never leave you alone. I encourage you to draw from the strength that has been rooted down within you and never be ashamed of your pain. Allow God's hand to protect you and His Spirit to guide you in all things. I love you Friend, God Bless.
