My condolences to all of her children and grandchildren. I have a lot of memories about my half-sister Bettie especially when I helped do some remodeling in their bathroom. Also spending sleep overs with my nephews. I am sorry that I didn’t get to see her at the nursing home but I do remember her in my prayers every night. My God bless all of you and comfort you in this sorrow. Love all of you! Ron & Karen

Cheri
Our prayers are with you and your family. Your mom lived to be 91. Wow, the stories that she could probably tell.
We hope you can find comfort in the fact that she is with her God now.
