Praying for you in your loss. It has been many years since we’ve seen Betty, but I was just thinking of her a few days ago. She was a special lady, so kind & loving. We enjoyed our visits when we would get together with the Chadwick’s & other family members.
So sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family during this time. Betty was such a kind and gentle woman. She will be missed by so many.
I love this picture of Betty, and I love every memory it evokes. Betty encouraged me and built me from the very beginning of my walk with the Lord. She has prayed for me, reminded me of precious truths, even when I was far away. I am praying for you all, for God’s comfort and for the joy of knowing that Betty has her well deserved crown!!!
