Jim, Bev, Tim, Mark, My Sons Mat Smith and Tommy Smith, Amanda and rest of family.
Betty was my mother in law for fourteen years and she was and always will be very special to me and will remain in my heart forever. I was so lucky to have Betty in my life, she took me into the family as if I was her daughter. She was the best mother in law. Betty was not only “Mom” to me but a friend as well. Betty and I had many years of laughter, smiles, fun, hugs, talks but most of all Love. We did a lot of things together and made many memories for our kids to remember. Betty was the best mom and Grandma to Jim and my sons. I will treasure my memories and pictures with all my heart until the day I see Betty again in heaven. I kept in touch with Betty up til about 1-3 yrs ago by writing letters, messages on Facebook, thru her sister and niece in Kentucky and with cards. Betty always sent me a Christmas card and told me I would always be her daughter in law and it just brought tears of joy to my eyes and to my heart. Betty loved her children and grandchildren with all she had, they were her life..Jim, Bev, Tim nd Mark I am sorry for the loss of your Mom, she was a great woman. To my son’s Tommy and Mat, Mom loves you, I am thinking of you both and I am so sorry for the loss of your Grandma. R.I.P. Betty, go fly with the angels and be with your family in heaven, your are loved and will always be missed by many.
