Remembrances
Please leave your name and remembrance in this public guest book. Your comments will be shared on this page and forwarded to the family.
It was truly an honor to have helped take care of Betty during my employment with Rocky Mountain Hospice. Although she was ill when I met her, it was readily apparent what a proud, caring person she was. Betty fought a long, difficult battle, and as sad as it is that she had to leave us, she is finally free of all the burdens and sadness that illness brings. I'm quite sure that she will continue to watch over everybody and make sure they're all doing what they are supposed to be doing...just as she did right from that chair in her living room! My sincere condolences to the family--may your happy memories bring you peace during this sorrowful time.

Our heart goes out to your family. We are very sorry for your loss. There are so many memories of your family get togethers - birthdays, 4th of July, playing cards, getting in trouble for being in the chicken coop - the list could go on and on. I loved birthday's at your house - Betty's German Chocolate cake was the BEST!
Betty will be missed dearly, again, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
