To Betty’S Family: I Attended Church At Kanawha City Baptist For Many Years With Betty. She Was A Delightful Person, Always Fun To Be With, And A Devout Christian. She Will Be Missed And I Was So Sorry To Hear About Her Passing. I Send You My Love And Best Wishes But Betty Has A New Job Now In Heaven. She Will Do It Well.

Betty And I Had A Long-Lasting Friendship Founded On Our Common Love Of Jesus, Good Food, Work And Family Memories And Lots Of Laughter And Good Times. She Was Always The Same Anywhere She Was. I Guess I Just Expected Her To Always Be There, And Her Passing Is Definitely A Loss For Me. However, I Am So Happy For Her That She Has Made Her Transition And I Know That One Day I’Ll See My Friend Again Where We’Ll Share “Joy Unspeakable” And Unimaginable Good Times Forever And Ever.
