DeeAnn, Dennis and family, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. My intentions were to come to the visitation, but have been exposed to some of the stuff going around, so decided to not come up. You are all in my prayers. Sue

Sincere sympathy to Don and family for their loss. Betty was a dedicated, helpful, and hardworking aide while I was teaching at Welton. May your loving memories of her comfort you and fill the void that she has left. Know that she now rests in peace in the loving hands of her Lord.

I am so sad to hear of Betty's passing. I was visiting Iowa over the Thanksgiving weekend and drove past her house after a visit to the cemetery. I was telling my nephews about the Schneden/Ketelsen/Paulsen Genealogy etc... and remarked how helpful Betty had been to me through the years. One of the kindest individuals I had the privilege of knowing. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Donnie & family. I am so saddened to hear of Betty's passing, no doubt she fought a really good fight and has now won the race. Even with that truth in mind, the hurt and pain of her passing still remains. I have so many great memories of Betty from the wedding day, at family gatherings and so on. She has given me much inspiration to live every day to the fullest. Even through the mourning and grieving time, please do take time to smile a smile as she touched my life and I know many other lives she touched too. See you Saturday.

We are sad that Betty's time on this earth has ended. We knew her well, especially when she was active in the historical society! She was always very helpful and she has been and will be missed by us all.

Betty was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met! She and my Mom were very good friends. She was always one of those neighbors that would help give bridal and baby showers to all of us as we were growing up. I send my deepest sympathy to all her wonderful family. God bless you all!

Deepest sympathy for your loss but joy for Heaven's gain. She is finally free from the devastation of her disease and will live on, pain free and happy, just waiting for the reunion with you, someday. Cherish your memories and allow her to live on, through you. Dan and Nikki Soto
