Keith, Kathy, and Kenneth, and families,

I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. I adored your Mom. We kept in touch over the years, through Christmas cards, and sometimes she'd call about once a year. I always enjoyed talking with her. She (and your Dad), always made me feel so welcome. Like family. I will always cherish that. I wanted to be there at the funeral home for all of you yesterday, to give each of you a hug, and tell you how sorry I was for the family. I can only imagine how much you are all hurting. Unfortunately, I caught covid last week and thought it was best that I didn't put any of you at risk. I'm sending a virtual hug to each of you, and you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

With love,

David Slater

p.s. when I think of Miss Betty, this Billy Graham quote keeps coming to my mind.

"It's God's job to judge,
The Holy Spirit's job to convict,
and it's my job to love."

I think she did a good job of that.

Keith, Kathy, and Kenneth (as well as all of your children and grandchildren), my heart goes out to you all in this time of grief. My thoughts and Prayers will be with you during the times ahead. Aunt Betty was a special lady, and I hope to see her again in God’s Heavenly Kingdom.

in honor of Betty Mae.

Mrs. Betty was a very special lady to many people through her years of serving God and community. I loved her and Preacher Lingafelt from years ago. Amazing strong couple who served in a mighty way. She’s now healed and rejoicing in heaven with our Lord.
God bless her family and church family and give you comfort.
