    Your daughter, Melody

  2. Betty was a great friend and loved by everyone who knew her. She was an exemplary role model for us. Her loving hugs, kisses, well wishes, and precious notes will always be treasured. We miss her greatly as she was an inspiration to us. However, we rejoice that she is with her Saviour Jesus Christ!

  3. Will always cherish the thoughtful cards and caring words of love during Christmas season. Aunt Betty had a huge impact on my early faith in Jesus Christ. The influence she and Uncle Martin had on my life will never be able to put into words . Their love for others and her devotion to God purpose has been an anchor in my life.

  4. Mike and I were sorry to learn of Mrs. Ballew’s passing. We were blessed to call her a friend. Our hearts are saddened today, but we are thankful her earthly body is healed and she is with her Savior. We will pray for the family during the coming hard weeks.
