"My husband and I would like to convey our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of your beloved Betty Lou. Sometimes words are hard to express at moments like this, but we both truly understand the pain of losing one so dear. We just wanted to share with you something that has brought us much comfort at a similar time in our lives. Psalm 34:18 reassures us that we are never alone, and John 11:14-44 shows us the experience of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus here on earth, before the very eyes of those he loved. We can only imagine the tears of joy when we too, are reunited with our dear loved ones again. (John 5:28,29) Betty Lou will surly be missed by many of those who's lives she touched, remember the experiences you shared together and learn from them, hold them close to your hearts and cherish them. May you find comfort from those who surround you at this very difficult time. Our sincere condolences to all of you."
In loving memory of
Betty Lou Wharton
