Betty will always be in my heart. The folks that know me, know Betty was my Mother-In Law. However she was much more than that to me. She never missed at telling me she loved me, she was always concerned with how I was doing with my own health. Betty never missed the chance to push me on while I was work on my Degree in Criminology. She was a beacon of sunshine for all that were blessed to know her. I can see her now sitting in the house of our LORD, crocheting. I will deeply miss you Betty. You were liking a MOM to me. Les.
Guy and Lori Lund says
Matt,
I am so sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. It doesn’t seem like it but it has been 24 years since I met you and Betty. I always loved visiting whenever I ran into her. Lori and I send our sympathy and prayers to you.
Matthew T Ranson says
my wife Betty and I Matt add rules on marriage: 1- we never got angry at the same time. 2-we never went to bed angry and alls settled our arguments before bed time we always say we loved each other everyday. we love each other everyday of our lives. one more saying: An Irish saying: may the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon you face. And rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. May you rest in peace my love for I carry you with me by my side.
