Our deepest condolences with the going
home to glory of a long time friend Bettie.
She served for many years in the prayer
ministry of FBCUC and had such an impact
in the many lives she touched.
I remembered the many prayer walks we
had throughout the years and how God
answered those prayers!
Thank you for touching our lives this side
of heaven! You will be missed,
Linda and Richard Gillis.
