BETTY IS IN HEAVEN TODAY!!!
I received a phone call this morning at 7 a.m. from a friend at church telling me that our friend Betty went home to be with the Lord this morning at 2:15 a.m. She is so happy now and we are missing her terribly here in our world!!
I am not sad at all like I thought I would be but just the opposite!! I am so happy for her and now looking at the picture at the top of my blog that does makes me sad!! I am joyful knowing that she has just beat me to HEAVEN!!
She was a great person to have known. It was a delight to have been able to take care of her in her last days here on this earth!! I loved her and I know that she knew that. She will be missed by so many many people. She had so many friends. It was unbelievable the amount of people who stopped by to just tip toed in to see her one more time!! Those are true friends!!
Her visitation is tonight and her funeral is tomorrow on the 4th of July!! I guess you can say her home going is really going to be celebrated.
SO heres to my friend!! Betty have a good time and PARTY ON!! Have an AWESOME time!!

Hi Sandy. Sorry for your loss but happy for Betty being with Jesus...can't even begin to imagine how wonderful it must be for her now...no more suffering. Face to face...hmm...what a thought. God bless you and keep you in His peace and comfort. Love, Meg
Our hearts ache for our separation from our friend while they rejoice at the knowledge that Jesus promised to go and prepare a place for us, and because of his finished work on the cross, we know this to be true. We have an assurance of eternal life and no fear of death. May all of us be
blessed to have a friend like you to walk with while on this earth...
~~~Blessings~~~

So sad to hear you lost your good friend,but HAPPY to know she's with JESUS. Our prayers are with you and her family.
I know how it is to loose someone really close to you. I know it will hurt a little while. I know that you will catch yourself picking up the phone to give her call...But you also know that you will see her again in heaven. And than the party will really start :)
You are in my thoughts.
(((hugs)))
Oooh... I'm so sorry. :( I know that has to be hard. I've been SO blessed to not lose someone close yet. I'm dreading the day it comes... until then I love and laugh at it's fullest. Hugs to you.
Sandy, my thoughts are with you in the loss of your dearly loved friend. But you are right, she is out of pain now and in a much better place.
Hugs xoxo
I am very sorry for you that you lost your friend but as you said it's much better for her so her suffering finally came to an end.
That's exactly how I felt after the initial shock of losing my mother. Oh sure, there was grief and loss....but soon after, after I saw her at peace and no longer in pain. I knew she was happy and ready for her maker!!!
You have my deepest sympathies and glad you are okay with it.
Thanks for letting me know.
Just checking in to see how you are doing and to let you know I'm thinking of you. (((hugs)))
I am thinking of you. I know what is like to loose someone...family or friend who is very close to your heart. The pain is something hard to process alone...but with the LORD all things are possible. He is the great comforter. Just think Betty is singing praises and running around heaven have a Grand time. Better than anything here. You and the family will be in my prayers.
You and her family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know that she was loved and cared for. You are a dear friend.
I am so sorry for your loss but Praise Jesus you will be together again, praising God together. It is such a comfort when someone we love dies and we know they are in their saviors loving arms.
God Bless You!
Sandy,
I'm so glad that you were able to spend such precious time with your friend in her final days. May God continue to bless you and her family as they grieve this loss.
Many HUGS!!

Hope you are feeling better. Know that you are prayed up. Wish you could be here this weekend....it always took two of us to try to control Melli! Miss you more than an ice cream cone on a hot July day!
Sorry to hear about your friend. You seem to be taking it well. The comfort comes in knowing where she is at. It is so nice you were able to help care for her at the end. :)
I'm behind on my visiting. I'm so sorry on the loss of your friend but happy for her gain. As you said, Party on Betty!! ;)
