Betty jo our prayers are with you. We know it is hard when our God needs another ANGEL. I know that he was met at the peraly gates welcoming him there was Betty Hyatt, Randall Johnson,John Farrington, as we know all of them Ben will have no problem. They will show him where his Manison is on that street of gold. Betty jo you and the family are in our prayers. We love you, God will be with you and comfort you. He only calls ANGELS as he needs them, gives them the wings of a bird. The memorys are worth it all.

Dear Betty,
I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband Ben, I know you will miss him dearly as well as cherish the many memories. It is times like these that we need much in the way of comfort and support, and I look to God's Word the Bible for both, and I find such scriptures as 2Corinthians 1:3,4 which shows how the "God of all Comfort" will give you the courage and the strength to cope. Psalms 55:22 assures us of God's love by allowing us to throw all of our burdens on him, and both John 11:25 and Acts 24:15 speaks of the resurrection hope, something we hold out for our dear loved ones.
I hope these scriptures help you as they have for me. My thoughts and prayers will be with you in this most difficult time.
