Granny Hanes, you always made me feel welcome in your home even though I'm not blood. You are an amazing, classy woman. Tell my sissy I love her and may you both look over us and give us strength as we grieve.##imported-begin##Crystal Beighley##imported-end##

Betty had a profound influence on my life and I look back fondly at the wonderful times I spent with her in my younger years. She made my 8th grade graduation dress and when I got married my wedding dress. I thank God for her influence on me spiritually as she shared Christ with me too. I loved Betty and I look forward to seeing her again in heaven.##imported-begin##Linda Lee Lewis##imported-end##
I count my blessing to have Betty, friend & Mom all in one. Have no desire to even think of not getting this opportunity to say I'm so sorry for those that don't. I will carry her beautiful teachings and love with me the rest of my life. Hoping to be a giving caring woman she has always been. Your alway in my head and heart Mom.##imported-begin##Molly Beth Clark##imported-end##
Mama, Travis and I asked Lilly to give you a big lick on the face when you get to heaven. Did she? Daddy and I will be lost w/o you, but he thinks maybe it was better you went ahead of him, even though his heart is breaking. We love you. Our hearts cry for you, sigh for you, our hearts long for you, please come back to us!##imported-begin##Amy Marie##imported-end##

Our Aunt Betty will always live in our hearts. We have so many fond memories of Aunt Betty and Uncle Nile throughout the years. We have been playing cards once a week with them for over 30 years. There will be a big hole in our lives with her gone. We love her and Uncle Nile and express our deepest condolences to Uncle Nile and their children.##imported-begin##Roger and Nancy Stenberg##imported-end##
I had the honor of having my parents pick Betty to be my God Mother. She is/was a wonderful influence in my life. I always enjoyed the yearly Christmas letters that I would get that kept me up on "our" family business.
Her influence on taking me to church as a little girl when I stayed the night with Jennifer helped me become the Christian woman I am today.
A friend told me I was blessed by her passing. I had her as a God mother in this life and now I have a Gardian Angel. I liked that!
She may be gone from this life but after I stand before the Throne - I look forward to the line of hugs I will get - Betty's will be one of them!##imported-begin##Beth Christopher Bellows##imported-end##
