Our thoughts are ignited by the sadness you must feel in the loss of your mother Betty's passing. A parents exit is never easy. May this time be swift through the painful healing necessary for one to become whole. We stand beside both Randy and Francis as you move ahead lingering at those things most important. To the rest of the family our condolences.

Tom, Kevin, and Randy and Paul, I am thinking of you guys and so sorry to read of your mother's death. It is never easy to lose your mother, regardless of age, and it leaves quite a void. Your good memories will comfort you. I had some of you guys in the second grade at New Haven School and your mother was one of my best cheer leaders. She would always "yell" at me hello when she saw me and was such an encourager to me. She loves her boys and was so proud of you. I only wish I would have known she was in the Willows as I would have visited her. She was a dear lady and one you could trust. I pray that Jesus will comfort each of you and draw you close to His heart. I will be praying for you. hugs to all, Barb Evarts Postema

Dear cousins. Your mom was a wonderful lady. I remember her coming to our house to help with the seven of us while mom was in the hospital delivering #8. Who would do that! Your mom. She was also very supportive of me during some challenging times. I will miss her. She loved her boys and was very proud of you all. Deepest sympathy

Betty and I met just last summer, in a chance encounter at Park Village. We just liked each other! In that short time, I recognized Betty as an unforgettable person. Those who loved her have quite a role model for being true to oneself. My sympathy for your loss.

To all of her sons, but especially Kevin, I am so sorry to read this news. Your Mom was corker!!! She never let my Mom get away with anything and Cindy and I always thought that to be so funny. She told it like it was. I remember her walking into my Mom's hospital room about 2 minutes after she had passed. They were friends until the end. I loved her spunk. I offer you my most sincere condolences. For my Mom; RIP, Betty!!!
