I’ve never known such a sweet dear lady to the very end as my sister-in-love, Betty. She will be truly missed but we can rejoice that she is with Jesus even now during such a special holiday season. So many good memories. Such a very special family. I love all of you!!
Aunt Betty was a remarkable woman. I always loved visiting her as a child. She made me feel so welcomed and I loved to listen to her. I know how proud she was of her 4 children and the amazing love she had for Uncle Jerry. My prayers are for all of you at this sad time.
We grieve with you in the loss of your mother and grandmother. It is good to know that we will see her again someday. Our love and prayers are with you. Love, John, Shelley, Bob, and Lois Sawyer
Betty was such a special lady. I knew that the first time I met her at a Pattillo family picnic in the summer of 1972, as I was about to join this wonderful family. She will be missed by so many, but what a wonderful legacy she has left for all of us–love and kindness to everyone, and a deep, deep faith in her Lord. We will celebrate her life!
Betty will be missed but forgotten.
The entire Rope family.
May our Lord Jesus Christ bring your family the peace & comfort that only He can bring during the loss of your loved one. What a joyous reunion in Heaven there will be when we meet again. GOD bless
