I wish I had known her. How wonderful to be as highly thought of by so many as she was.

Tori, Russ, Momma Lloyd…you’re especially in my thoughts & prayers. Barbara, I hope the trip won’t be too much for you and that you’ll return home in peace that you were able to go and see that Betty is truly at peace now…no more suffering, but in the comfort of her Heavenly home.

My sympathies to all family & friends.

She’d scour second hand shops and Good Will stores to find that perfect bargain! She was never pretentious or demanding. But……when she went to a gospel music concert, she would only settle for front row seats! And she’d turn heaven and earth upside down to find them!!! Spend whatever it took to get them! It was her one extravagance! She loved that music so much, she was compelled to get as close to it as she could!

Knowing more about her condition back then, I’m impressed she took a teenage girl with no ‘off switch,’ alone, to the last Gaither Alaska cruise, and sat outside two hours on a bench with no back rest so she could be up front and center during one of the performances!! I’m guessing Tori and ol’ Russel are grateful they were able to help her out back then when God presented wonderful opportunities to do so = )

Peace!

See you at the house, Betty. She is there checking it all out.

I believe He is eternally New, and even though we’ll have all eternity with Him, I believe it will be an eternity of continual discovery bliss. She’s now got a decent head start on all of us, bless her wonderfully redeemed heart = )

I’m getting ready to go to worship and realized that “our Betty’s” faith is now sight. She knows so much more about our LORD than we do and is worshiping in that great multitude in heaven today.

What is it like, Betty, to see Him face to face? To be in His presence? To know?

I’m so sorry for all of you who knew who her personally and for her family.

I didn’t get to know her so well myself but I seem to be able to feel your grieve “through cyberspace”. So I’ll continue praying.

Betty, you will be missed. You were a great friend and sister in Him. God has called another one of His children home. Prayers are going up for the family and esp. for you Tori, Russ, Momma Lloyd and Linda.

She is now with her Lord and enjoying His presence free from all her limitations. She is probably singing Southern Gospel right now in praise to Him.
Our prayers go to all her family and those who knew her personally.

I can’t believe that she’s really gone. I loved her so much. She was a gift to me and she gave me so much joy. She’s one of the most interesting women I’ve ever met—–so knowledgeable in so many areas, but never arrogant or show off-y. And she possessed a compassion that took in everyone she met. Whenever you had a problem, she knew just exactly what to say, and how to help. And she did it! I miss her already.

I’m praying for her family tonight—-their loss is overwhelming, I’m sure.

We love you, Betty! (I wonder if she can read your blog in Heaven, Tori, ’cause I know she wouldn’t want to miss it.)

So, definitely praying for “our Betty”. Please keep us posted, not just about Betty and her family, but Nashville and your aching back. Golly, I want to just come over and do something! But that would take a while, so I will just pray right here. Love to all…God knows…

I have to admit that until I finally de-lurked here, and discovered certain parts of gaithercommunity I was a huge sceptic about the possibility of developing friendships through cyberspace. After all how can you get to know people you have never even met? I have been proved well and truly wrong, and themema was one of the key people in changing my mind. She is truly one of the most encouraging, supportive, incisive and witty people I know, even if I don’t ‘really’ know her.

She has the gift of service and of giving….and possesses so much wisdom. You don’t have to even ask, because our Betty has an opinion on everything…but, then, I think that’s what makes her an interesting person. I’m continuing to pray for her healing….but, most of all, I want God’s Will

Gracious, while I was typing this, Betty’s husband called to say that the nurse is saying Betty is improving a little. Dennis asked that we all please keep praying. They will have been married 50 years in June.
