Mrs. Betty was a special lady. Always optimistic, energetic, eager to help, and the perfect hostess. Never have I known one who would open their house to friends and family the way she did. You couldn't out give her and need not try. What I'm most thankful for is that we share faith in the same Savior: Jesus. This gives me great comfort because I know that based on her faith and the promise of God, we will see each other again. It was my pleasure serving as her pastor at Northwood Baptist Church from October 2006 to August 2014. Never did I hear Mrs. Betty say a negative word about anyone. She had the energy of many half her age and a heart bigger than most. Her love for her church and for me and my family will not soon be forgotten. And yes, we loved her too. Until we meet again on the other side! - Bro. Barry Smith
