I was shocked to hear of Betty’s passing! She always had a ready smile and warm hug. She was so proud of Adrian and his leading music in church. Her church family will miss her greatly! May you find comfort in knowing since George’s passing ,Betty always said her family was looking after her ,so she had nothing to worry about. She loved you all deeply. May you feel God’s love surrounding you in these times of sorrow.

To Nick, Chantelle, Fred and families,
Words cannot express how sad we are feeling about your mother’s death. Just four days before her passing Alan and I were sitting at her table chatting with her. We will truly miss seeing her across the yard from our cottage mowing her lawn and tending to her flowers. Your parents were wonderful neighbours and being next door will never feel the same again.
Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to everyone.
Alan and Marsha, Becky and Andy, Julie and Greg and boys
