What a sweet, wonderful lady, I am so fortunate to have known...  always cheerful...loving of her family ...and I felt loving of me as a friend of her daughter Lynna.   You will be missed...but I know that Perry and Shirlie-Girlie were there to greet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

I never met Bette but I do know Lynna. Lynna is a credit to her mother and carries her smile and beauty. Bette must have been a special person to raise and guide Lynna to where she is today. I know the pain when a parent passes, especially a mother. She can rest in peace knowing that she has been a great woman and mother

Mom’s influence still guides me. As the years have passed without Mom I find I miss her more and more, not less and less. She was an amazing mother. She always put our family first. Always cheerful and welcoming to all. Christmas is lonelier without her. She was the best Mom ever.

Another year passed without Mom. As I reflect on our family, I see that as the years have passed, Dad has assumed the responsibility of tying us all together the way Mom did with family thread. She would be so pleased to know that the family goes on. I miss her humor and her unique way of “momness”. Always providing understanding and love and a safe retreat from worries.

I love and miss my mother so much she was my best friend. I was lucky to spend the last 7 years taking care of her always smiling when I came into the room.She was very sweet and loving I was proud she was my mother. I could not ask for a better mother. God bless you mom. I Love You

We all miss Mom so very much. Mom made Christmas very special with all sorts of traditions. She always decorated the house, put up a tree, established a wrapping room, baked cookies, made popcorn, wrote Christmas cards, shared the cards received, made all the plans for meals and Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Without her and Dad the Season isn’t as bright.
