Clayton, and the rest of your family so sorry for your loss. You were truly blessed to have Betty, such a caring woman in your life. I know she will be sorely missed. Our family sends our deepest condolences at this difficult time.
Clayton and family – So sorry to hear about Betty passing; I know she will be dearly missed. My Mom truly loved staying there at your home in her last years and we really appreciated your loving care
for her and the other residents. Deepest sympathy wishes are being sent your way and cherish all
the memories of her. Mary Lou Gusk and family
Clayton and your family, so sorry for the passing of Betty. One memory I have is when Betty, Vicky and I would slide down Vilhauer’e hill, on a toboggan, of sorts, that Uncle Bud made for us out of corrugated tin with twine as the rope. The hill was a great hill and it would take us right onto Lake Manuella to Papa’s and my Dad’s fish houses. Then we could warm up before trudging up the hill again. She will be missed by many and she was loved by all. May God bless you all. ❤🙏🙏🙏
Buzzell Family….so sorry for your loss.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our condolences to Clayton and family. Betty was a very special person. Her smile was so infectious. She was always such a sweet and humble person. She was probably the best mom there ever was. He children meant everything in the world to her. She was a blessing in this world and will arrive at her new home waiting for her with her heavenly father and will once again see her family that has passed before her. While I know the sadness you must feel I am sure that she is smiling down at you. Jean and Phil Godfrey
