My sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Betty. The loss of our dear loved ones can be very difficult and distressing to cope with. We look forward to the time when the words of Isaiah 33 : 24 is a reality ---"And no resident will say : " I am sick. " It can help us to know that she now safely rests in the loving memory of our Grand Creator. May you find comfort in the good and loving memories of her as we wait for the fulfillment of His good and trustworthy promises. - Revelation 21 : 3-5; Psalm 37 : 11,29. Sincerely
CL
