"SYMPATHY, LOVE and PRAYERS.....what a SPECIAL Lady. Met her at St Luke's when my husband (Ronnie Hall "Hallsey") was a resident at St Lukes. I thought she was a lady from Huntley and always spoke to her and she was so nice. Finally I asked if she remembered my folks and learned she was from IA and not the lady I thought she was. So I gained a new Friend.....and she was a Sweetheart. GOD BLESS ~ Val Hall"

"Betty was a very special friend, whom I will miss dearly. She was always so positive, very content with her life. I hope that is something I can be as I grow older. She was such a good example of a godly woman who loved her Lord. She will always hold a very special place in my heart.

"Betty had a special place in my heart. I will forever cherish the moments visiting with her at st. Luke's and the visits after I quit working there. She was always so happy and she loved visits from Bear dog. She had such strong spiritual beliefs...I know she is happily looking down from heaven. I will miss her dearly, especially the nice cards she would send for myself and my daughter Lily...she never forgot our birthdays and holidays. "
