Still hard to believe you are actually gone.
You had the biggest heart ever and were always there for everybody, family and friends. My children and even my Grandchildren…all of us. I know I speak for anybody that knew you, you had the best hugs ever and you will be greatly missed!
You were 13 when we met for the first time. You held me in the car as my mother (your sister) brought me (a newborn) home from the hospital. I will always remember you telling me you fell in love with me, staring into my big blue eyes on that first day we met. These eyes, that cry now and every time I think of you.
There are so many memories. Where do I start?
I remember being introduced to the church at a young age by you. So very thankful for that.
I remember you taking all of us kids to the park for picnics or the beach after church and then A&W afterwards. So fun.
I remember the birthday parties. You loved to celebrate us, letting us know how important we were.
I remember the hair curling and dying sessions with Grandma and your sisters when I was young and we all lived together. You were very patient with me doing those pin curls in my hair, on Saturday nights before Church.
I remember you coming over on the weekends to try on my mother’s clothes.
Tons of memories in my head that I hope I never forget.
You had such a big heart and family was very important to you. I will always be grateful for you taking me in when I needed help. I know it was not easy, we went through a lot! I am also happy I was able to tell you that while you were still alive. You were such a blessing! Always have been and always will be.
I love you with all my heart Betty and I miss our chats and your hugs. It meant so much to me and you always had the best memory and could share stories like no other. Two days before you passed, I had the urge to call you but got busy and forgot. I’m sorry. I will always regret that. I want to hear your voice again. Is that selfish of me? I really, really miss you!
You have taught me so much in life but I still have many questions. I know you are in a better place now and are with your sisters and Mother dancing away.
We have been blessed to have you in our lives. You were an angel here on earth and now our guardian angel.
I love you Betty and always will. Rest in peace, in God’s arms!!
