The loss of Aunt Betty is shared by so many like me that loved her so much. There are no words to erase my pain, my sadness or my grief for her. My love for her is everlasting with her leaving me with so many memories. She was so much fun to be around when I was a kid. Aunt Betty meant a lot to me. These memories are treasures that I will always hold in my heart. She was a wonderful woman. She had a great sense of humor. Although she's left this world, she'll always be in my heart. She's going to be greatly missed. This is not goodbye Aunt Betty. I'll meet you on the other side one day. I love you and I know you are rejoicing with all your family and friends and that makes me happy. No more sickness or pain and walking the streets of gold. Hallelujah!!!! Amen!!!!!

My mom.....what can I say...She was the best mom, friend, cheerleader, problem solver, prayer warrior and soul mate for my dad. I will forever miss you momma. Words can't begin to describe the loss that I feel. I so enjoyed my time with her. I could never begin to repay ALL that she has done for me. I guess best to describe my mom was the character "Edith Bunker" She would always run around the kitchen, literally to prepare meals every single day. So much energy, so much feistiness. She had an unconditional love for her family. Even when she started getting worse she would tell me "honey, I haven't cooked anything today, let me get up and get you something to eat." Knowing, at that point there was no way she could. But, in her mind she was doing it. I could share so much about momma, but I have it all in my heart and right now my heart is heavy...I would always tell her thank you for being such a great mom and how much I loved her and she would always say....I love you more......I love you so much momma....I miss you so much....I know you are rejoicing with your mom and dad and those that have gone on before us......Again, I love you momma....

I spent many, many days running around the Boothe’s family home. I loved being with Mrs. and Mr. Boothe. Their home was filled with love and laughter. As a young girl I knew they loved me and always felt safe with them. Tammy and I shared many a meal around some great cooking at the Boothe dining table. What a blessing to have been a small part of the family. My love and condolences to all of the family.

Aunt Betty's passing is a big loss to so many people that was blessed to have her in their lives. She was a little firecracker and a hoot to be around. Thoughts and prayers go out to Uncle Pete, their daughters and grandchildren. Even though this is a big loss for us it is even a larger loss for them. She loved all of them with all of her life. Knowing she is once again the healthy happy Aunt Betty that everyone knew makes this loss a little bit easier to accept. RIP Aunt Betty, love you always.
