Mom had a strong determination to accomplish challenges. To live alone partially blind in her condo till the end is just one of many examples

It will soon be four years since you met our Savior, Jesus Christ. I am grateful you are free of earthly cares. I am thankful for everything you taught me and the confidence you instilled in me. You demonstrated perseverance, discipline, passion and friendliness. I wish I could share with you family updates! You always loved hearing news. Thank you for sharing the Gospel with me many years ago. I will see you again some day and enjoy eternity with Jesus. Love, Patty

I just heard about this, I am so sorry, I was remembering Bette as she would ride the van to Countryside Christian Center. I knew her for many years. Her and her beloved from Top of the World. She knew me like no one else did, even better than myself. Rest in Peace, Rose....

Ms Bette
I never had the privilege of meeting you, but you raised my wonderful friend, Patty. For that I give you my thanks. I'm sure she must be a lot like you. Perhaps some day I'll meet you face to face, but in the meantime, I'll just be praying for and loving your family that's here. I know they made you proud.

Grandma, I'll miss you very much. I loved how you never seemed to forget anything that was happening in my life or in the lives of the other family members. Everytime we talked you always asked me about how school and work were going for me, and you always asked if I was saving my money, just so you could make sure I was. I know you always prayed for me and for the rest of the family as well every day, and I'll always appreciate that! I'll miss you but I'll see you again someday, Grandma!

One day we will all meet in the House of the Lord. Prayers for comfort and peace as you too adjust to walking this temporary world without your Mom. I'm sure your Mom has already met mine and are watching over us.

Aunt Bette, I have so many great memories of you growing up! Letting me spend the night and even making my favorite dinner, pizza! I was always in awe of how pretty you were and so very very nice to me. I miss those days and will think of you often with such fond memories, rest in peace Aunt Bette you are beside God in heaven now.

Thank you for praying for me and my family everyday.thank you for making me a confident woman. You taught me determination and how to stick with things. You encouraged me to try new things. You always believed in me and let me know you were proud of me. You always showed an interest in me, my marriage and my children telling me I was a good mom even on rough days. You loved meeting new people from all walks of life and always offered them a hug and word of encouragement. Your took me to museums, concerts, historical sites, music lessons, dance classes, swim lessons, skiing, plays, camping, libraries. Most important of all, you taught me it isn't about religion, it's about a relationship with Jesus. It isn't about man-made traditions of a church, but about accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior and reading the Bible to learn about Him. Thank you for always believing in me. A mother's love is a powerful thing and I will miss that very much. I know I will see you again. I love you, Mom!

Grandma - I miss you and I'm so glad Christina and I got to hold your hand and talk to you last month.

You always encouraged me to dream big and not let anything hold me back. I think about that all the time. Even if you were having a bad day when we talked, you would always tell me how proud you were of me and how you prayed for me (and my allergies) every day. I'll miss hearing "oh honey, I love you" at the end of every phone call.

I hope you and Gramps are having a great time together again!

I love you..

Thank you for praying for me everyday. Thank you for loving my family. Thank you for making me a confident woman. Thank you for getting behind all my interests. Thank you for taking me to museums, plays, music lessons, dance class, the library, historical sites, camping, swimming lessons, skiing lessons. Thank you for always believing in me and being my biggest cheerleader. Most of all, thank you for teaching me it's not about being religious. It's about being sinful and being forgiven by the blood of Christ. It's not about man-made religious traditions, but salvation through Chist alone. I love you, mom!

Grandma, I am going to miss you! All of the stories you have held tight in your memory never got old. You remembered so much! I loved spending time with you, especially when you would share memories of my dad when he was growing up. Such a perfect child! Glad you only remembered the good things! You were always so kind and lovingly told me I was a great mom, even when I felt like I wasn't. I always knew you would pray for me, even when I didn't ask. You will be missed, but not forgotten. I love you! Tell Grandpa hello for me! Love you! Sherri & Tommy
