MaryAnne, Delois, and Darlene Im so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I would have been there for you but I was out of state. You girls were so blessed to have such a loving and caring Mom. Betty will be dearly missed by all. I can only imagine what a beautiful reunion it was in Heaven for your parents on that day:) May the memories comfort you during this time.

Mama Colville she is to me and always will be. She was my second mama. I know in my heart she is happy to see "drop the bomb again" she missed him so much. So even though our hearts are heavy now, I know she is in heaven with him and has a great big smile on that sweet face that so many loved. My prayers are with you all and know that I am so thankful you let me be a part of your family

What a wonderfully sweet and kind woman who was always smiling!!! As a surrogate mother to many, she will surely be missed. To the girls--thank you for sharing her with all of us.

George thought a lot of Betty. He worked with her in years past. He
called her often to check on her. David and George were freinds.
So sorry for her death. I am sure they are having lots of talks now
in heaven.
