Betty was my big sister. We started as next door neighbors, then sisters, always friends, and the best of co-workers. Betty had a special and unusual personality that I have never seen or experienced before. We had some great times at work and she will be missed. Oh, the memories she and I got into.
Aunt Betty was a fervent prayer warrior for me! She would invite to call in and get on the prayer call with her church bc she had them praying for me when I was in the hospital for 2 years and the doctors said I only had 2-3 days to live! That was in 2018 and when I got out in 2020 she always kept in touch with my Mother checking in on me, wanting to talk to me & praying for me! I have loved her since the day I met her and I'm missing her sweet spirit. May your soul rest in eternal peace!
Our condolences to the family. Our hearts and prayers are with you in this season and always. Mr. Jeffery & Dr. Vanessa G. Hall
The golden girls forever my dearest sister friend- love you Ida.
Granny,
This is a tough one but I’ll be alright. You were my person for all things scripture, prayer, and church. I’d tell people all the time - you may never hear me talk sports but now I can talk about some Jesus because that’s who my grandmother is. I was honored to share space with you before God called you home. I’ll never forget our last conversation:
I said to you - “Granny, it’s okay if you’re ready to go.”
In a sweet whisper you then said, “Where am I going?”
I replied, “You can go to Heaven.”
You looked towards my voice and said, “Heaven.”
And three days later that’s where you went. I’m not sure if that conversation brought peace to your life but I’m hopeful that it gave you something - whatever that something is. That being said, there is so much more I want to say but just know I am honored to have called you my grandmother and even more appreciative for your praying spirit.
In the words of Smokey Robinson, “I'll miss you, my buddy. I'll miss you, my friend. I promise my love for you will never end.”
-Joshua
Aunt Betty’s beautiful smile, her loving heart, and her sweet spirit will forever live in us. Her kindness touched every life she met, and her memory will remain a light we carry always. Love Twink
