Even though I have not seen Betty in a while, she was and will always be on my mind. Betty was such a kind, loving mother who always had a smile that would light up a room. I was so lucky to have her in my life. I have fond childhood memories of spending the summers on the farm in DeRidder with MaryAnn, David, and Mr. Wardle, picking peppers at the crack of dawn. After we were done, I always looked forward to enjoying Betty’s cooking. Nothing could beat her meals with homegrown vegetables, fresh cow’s milk and everything else made from scratch.
I love you Betty Wardle and will miss you dearly but you will always have a place in my heart Now God gets to enjoy the company of such a special person as you and I know Mr. Wardle is happy that you will be joining him in Heaven.
So sorry for your loss of your mother, MaryAnn and David. I love you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time in your life.
