I'll be praying for a miracle for you and keeping you in my thoughts in the days and weeks to come. You're a courageous woman and a true inspiration.

sharyn Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Dear Betty, As I sit here and type this, I am so moved by emotion I don't quite know where to begin. You were there for me every step of the way during Daddy's fight. Your replies always brought me comfort and I always looked for your smile and your "happy dance". The gift you gave to so many of us is immeasurable. Now, you are giving us another gift and I don't even know if you realize it, you are giving us the gift of the chance to tell you what you have meant to these boards, these people, and every other soul you have touched through your postings and caring. Betty, I pray for a miracle, but, if we don't get that miracle, I want to be able to tell you that as you enter your final journey, we are all praying for your peace and comfort. May God gently place you in his care and reward you for the love you have given others here on earth. Betty, I will continue to pray for you now and forever. Thank you for everything my friend. With sincere love, appreciation and admiration.... Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teacake Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Bette; Please know that my family and I so appreciate all the encouragement, humor and affection you showed to us and Terry (T-Bone) during his fight. Your kind and gentle words scattered among the humorous insights were just the kind of things that he connected with. Enjoy the sunrises and sunsets as well as the noons, the 2:00's, and all the in-betweens. Peace be with you, Kind Lady. Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmek Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Betty, I tried to post a reply this morning when I first read your post, but could not do it, and now I am struggling. What can you say to one who has made the post you were able to post. I can only pray that i am blessed with a fraction of the strength that god has blessed you with. May God Bless you Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gail p-m Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Betty - I don't know what to say that hasn't been said. I know how you've always been there supporting so many through the bad times and rejoicing in their good times. You have much courage and strength to have written this post. I again admire you for that. I do pray that you are with us for a long time to come. I also pray for you to be pain-free and a miracle for you would certainly be welcome right now. With much admiration for you. These words seem so inadequate to someone so special. Gail p-m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
