  3. Loved Mrs. Butler! and the whole family. Got to spend the night with Debbie in school times and be in their neighborhood later in life. I'm also thankful Debbie took me to spend time with her right before she became ill. Mrs. Betty always had a smile on her face, was fun and made everyone feel welcome. She was very special loving child of God and will truly be missed. Prayers and Love for all the family.

  4. Doc was my vegetable man, and Mrs. Betty was my crochet/church buddy. She was very talented and did so many beautiful crocheted projects! She was so proud of all of her family and how they took good care of her. I will miss her!

  5. Prayers for all of you that God will ease you during this time. Betty was such a sweet lady, nice neighbor for many years.

  6. You may not remember me but our backyards joined. I lived on Magnolia St for about 8 years. I was with her when your dad passed. Betty was a sweet lady and I enjoyed visiting with her. She dearly loved her family. I deeply regret losing touch with her when I moved from Hughes Springs. I thought of her often. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your loss.

  7. I’m so sorry I will not be able to attend the service. Both my husband and myself have doctor appointments on Monday. Sending love and prayers! Iylene Dew

  8. To a very special family, prayers lifted up for comfort. I will always remember the sweetness of one of Mom's best friends! The times we all spent playing together. It took me a while, at a young age, to understand why Virginia and Frances could spend the night, but I could not, as Tommy's friend. Sweet, precious memories. Love to you all.
