I am Bety's daughter Marie and I wanted to sign too. She was a great mom and grandma and I miss her already. I am happy she got to live here the last 6 years to spend time with us. Her services went well and the even the sun shone through at communion time until the reception was over, then rain again.
I can't imagine life without her but so happy she has a new body in heaven that can dance and jump again.##imported-begin##Marie Andersen##imported-end##

Betty holds a special place in my heart. In my early days of sobriety, her home was always open to me and my family. And we were over alot! She was tough, but always listened. A true testament to the joys and gifts of sobriety and living on life's terms. God bless.##imported-begin##Lisa Hjelmstad##imported-end##

We'll miss you Betty S. You taught me "tough love", to be willng and to remain teachable. Oh how we both struggled with "amends".
I am so grateful that we shared our friendship and our fellowship.

Dear Marie, Mike and family –
You know that Betty was a dear, dear friend to me for over 17 years. She was always “there†when I needed someone. I remember knocking on her door (in Eagle River, Alaska) and when she opened it; I would often just burst into tears (for whatever was going on in my life at that time), and she would just invite me in for some coffee and talk. We took some fun trips together; and we’d always talk and laugh about life. Sometimes we didn’t always agree with each other either, but that was O.K. too. She certainly taught me how to live one day at a time. I’m so glad that Debbie J. and I got to visit with her in July, it was very special to us all. I’m sure she’s in a better place, and that we’ll all be together again at that party/meeting in the heavens. She came to me the night she died in a dream and said, “I’ll see you later†– what a special gift that is. I wish you all comfort and God’s peace at this sad time.##imported-begin##Judy Hanna##imported-end##
