I met Betty and Don over30 years ago at Perinton Community Church and we became friends. We renewed that friendship in Vero Beach at Fisrt Church of God. She was a mentor who loved the Lord and was not shy about her faith. I am happy she is with Jesus now and we will meet again. We shared many wonderful times together. I will miss her. Prayers and condolences for the family.
Susan, Thank you for your condolences. I know that my mother had many happy memories of her friendship with you. With much appreciation, her son Don.
Betty was a joy to see each Sunday a.m. at Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church in Webster. She spoke so fondly of her departed husband and her only son Donald. She loved her years at the Gem Lab and often referred to it as her ‘ mission field’. So glad she now sees her Saviour face to face and has crown ready to throw at His feet! My sympathies to all
