    So glad I introduced you two 50 years ago.. You were made for each other and clearly enjoyed a full and fabulous life together. Betty had a great wit and a wry sense of humor. She took what life offered with grace, determination and enthusiasm. She will certainly be missed but never forgotten.

    Though time, distance and busy life styles have not allowed us to see each other often, ya’ll have been in our thoughts and prayers. From our early college days, you both have always been a fantastic and fun loving couple. The Lord has called Betty home, but her memories will always make us smile. Ken, you and your family will continue to be in our prayers.
