Missing you every day mama. I love you!

Merry Christmas mama, I love you so much. Miss you everyday.

Love always,

Your baby boy

Hi mama,

Every day is tough but these are the kind of days that are tougher than the rest. You are my best friend, my hero, and the best mom a son could have ever asked for. Happy Mother's Day. I love you always and forever.

Sean

Aunt B I miss you and love you and say it every day as I'm sure you know!! I had a thought as I'm finishing my long day of work! You'd be proud I've come along way from being quite comfy on my couch! I never have forgotten the promise i made to you when you and Uncle Craig were at Sue and I's home, you said don't be lazy your young get down stairs and work your business! I've kept my promise and will continue! Thank you so much for your word's of encouragement and wisdom they were not taken lightly but taken to the heart as I know they came from your heart!

Love your Nephew always Mitchell.

Mama,

It's taken me a long time to be able to write this(even longer to post), and yet I still don't have the words to say. There are times when I feel lost and others where I simply don't believe you are just a phone call away, but in all these times my love for you grows. Not a day goes by where I don't read your letter to me, at this point it basically embedded in my mind. My promise to you is I will do all the things you have asked of me.

One new thing that has happened is that I recently asked Kristi to marry me. I proposed at the fire pit right in view of your window (where conveniently our family was watching from). The ring was to be your Christmas gift from me before I proposed, but I know you are shining your love down. Our goal is to move home soon would love to go somewhere in the Niagara region.

Mom, there is so much more I can say, but to be honest I simply don't know how. All I can say is I will never forget your final words to me. I love you to mom.

Love always,

Your baby boy,

Sean

My Aunt Betty taught me more in two years than anyone else has in my whole life. All the while she didnt know all the good she was doing for me. Her passing has left a void in my heart that no one can fill. These last few months have been hard and finding the words to describe the joy, help, and strength she brought me have been even harder. As she taught me and many others, we have to be strong even in the face of tremendous odds and push on. I will always admire, love and miss her. Rest in peace Aunt Betty and thanks for everything. <3

Hi Betty. I added 3 pictures that I love. A common theme, fun times!

You know, 35 years of knowing you is a lot of time to reflect back on. Admittedly, I'm just glad that I had the opportunity to be a part of your life. However, when I look back at all the time we spent together and situations that are particularly special I must say that Zachary being born is probably at the top of my list. I remember you coming out of the room after Zachary was born and giving me a "play by play". You were so happy! However, that's not what really stuck in my head. It was your quiet confidence during the whole experience. It was trademark Betty! You had this "I've got this" air about you that I so admired and whether you know it or not, a quality that very few of us possess. An innate ability to separate the wheat from the chafe and concentrate on what's really important. Those of us that don't possess this ability can only watch in awe, learn and hang on. Hang on for dear life.

For me personally, I didn't learn nearly as much as I could have or should have. Maybe I just needed more time with you, like everyone else. I can promise that every once in a while I will reflect back on those times we had together and remember the way I "should" be handling those tough situations. One day when we meet again you can tell me if I've made some progress. One day.

Love

John

Craig & the Boys.

I don't even know where to begin, It's been over 10 years that we've met and even though you guys moved north, it still felt like you were close by.

Betty "Black Betty" will be missed by many, a true happy go lucky lady who always wore a smile.

The memories we shared @ BP, your backyard will forever be in our hearts.

I will also ride for her in June, always keeping those memories close.

Dave, Tania & Natasha

My ever loving aunt Betty, your words of wisdom shined brighter then a star in the sky an inspiration to all who met you!! If only 10 more minutes 10 more seconds of your words the world would be a better place!! Although you are gone the words of wisdom and advice will shine brightly to your husband,sons nephews sisters friends and anyone who had the honour to meet you! We miss you and love you!! Uncle Craig,Sean,Ryan&Tyson and family our in our thoughts and prayers always we love you!!

Sue,Mitch and Chelsea

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget

Craig, Shawn, Ryan, Tyson,

We are deeply saddened by the loss of your wife/mother.

She was a wonderful person and we are very lucky to get to know her and to call her a friend.

She will be truly missed.

With Love

Arpad and Chantal

Betty had a special spot in my heart and my heart breaks in hearing of her passing . My condolences and prayers for Craig and family . Betty I'm glad our paths crossed in this life my thoughts and prayers are with you .

It has been a privilege and a joy to have known Betty, she will be truly missed. Betty and her husband had what we all strive for in a relationship.

My Dearest Betty you where so special, so loved. You where the light. You where the laughter. You made everything better. You where my best friend. I will miss you now I will miss you forever. Till we meet again. xox

Bet. I look up in the sky and she how bright the stars shine brighter then ever. Only I see how bright they are shining,as I know it's you looking down on us. You will alway guide us , like you always have. Bet you have touched me in so many way .And each and every one of us will remember you in a different way. But for me I will always remember you as my big sister and my best Friend.l love you with all my heart.hugs & kisses from your baby sister I love you more the words can say . Donna

I can remember in particular one evening up north. Sean, Ryan, Tyson, Craig, Colin and myself had a few drinks and were getting a little goofy around the beer pong table by the fire. I remember Betty sitting watching just laughing hysterically at us. She was happy to see us happy. Betty cared for everyone so much, she was so happy to see everyone else happy. Betty was one of the kindest people I have ever known. She had so much love for her friends and family. We're all better people for having known her and for having had her in our lives.

No words can ever express the joy & kindness that Betty had brought and shared to all those around her....

Nor can they ever express the sadness of her passing.

She will forever live on in the hearts and minds of all those she touched.

Her warm heart and kind soul was her way of life!
