Tributes
"You have my sympathy with the loss of your mother Betty She was a amazing person One who was worth knowing and camping with Twyla Burch"
"P. J., Paula, Roy, Jolene and families there isn't any need to express sorrow for the passing of someone who lived their life to share Christ in everything she did and that was Betty. I always felt I had a glimpse of Christ just before I saw it was Betty walking (almost running) toward me. She was a strong leader, an unbelievably hard worker and loved Paul as closely to the way she loved her Lord as is earthly possible. We will forever treasure our memories of the two (can't think of one without the other) of them as friends as we remember all of you in prayer for comfort and the anointing she walked in daily. Larry and Shirley Porter"

We will miss her. Grateful she has reached her heavenly home she longes for. Love & Prayers, Sammy & Janice Barger "
