All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing, passed: I am now at peace forever, Safely home in heaven at last There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth You shall rest in God's own hand. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, Oh, the joy to see you come! Betty loved so many things; she was very creative and had so much love for her family and the children that she taught over the years. She loved gardening, scrapbooking, puzzles, and arts and crafts. She was a very loving mother, grandmother and an amazing teacher to so many children. To them she was and will always be known as "Miss Betty". She loved being funny, and always joking. She will be missed.
