Betty was my dear friend for 37 years and the sister I never had. She was a wonderful friend, always positive, encouraging, uplifting, fun and generous of heart. She enriched my life and inspired me spiritually. Her inner strength and deep faith helped her to face life’s many challenges, including her cancer. What a testimony she was!
We shared our lives together through good times and bad times. I have so many sweet memories of the times we spent together and I will treasure them always. Friday night dinners together for years (Betty, Jean, and I), sometimes going to Salvatore’s, Cresent Beach, Ontario Beach Park (the carousel), Canandaigua Lake, Geneva Lake, family times at Darien Lake and her family cottage, just to name a few. Betty was a very special woman and her friendship was a gift from God.
I grieve her loss as I know her family and friends do, as well as so many who’s lives she touched during her cancer treatments, but what a comfort to know that she is with her beloved savior, Jesus Christ. I love you, Betty, and as you reminded me, we will see each other again in Heaven!
Sending prayers to her family for comfort and peace during this difficult time. Diane Kohlmetz
