Betty was such a special lady who will leave a void at Fairview Meadows. She was so pleasant and upbeat…a person you enjoyed being around. She will be missed. Our sincere condolences to the family. -John Baker, Linda Krofcheck, and Kim Hohenadel, Fairview Meadows

May the God of comfort be with your family during this time of deep loss. (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17) The Bible at Psalms 90:10 says ‘in themselves the days of our years are seventy years; And if because of special mightiness they are eighty years’, yes your beloved Elizabeth was blessed with this ‘special mightiness’. Even so, we long to be with our loved ones forever. Take comfort in the hope that there is going to be a resurrection (Acts 24:15) on earth when sickness, old age and death will be no more (Revelation 21:3, 4). May these scriptures bring comfort and hope to yor family.

Awesome! with Jesus and reunited with Herb, so i rejoice knowing that, and we all we see her again, May the Lord comfort You and all the wonderful memories take you through this time.
