Addie Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I received an email today...and our dear Betty passed away in the wee hours this morning. Some time ago, I'd sent her an email..and my address must have still been in her book for me to receive direct notice. I swear...I awoke early this morning with thoughts of Betty in my head...almost as though I was hearing the whisper of her spirit as it left us. It just seemed it had been a while since we heard any news of her....and then when I got up, I found the email. In part, it says: To All of Betty's Friends and Relatives.Our sweet Betty passed away this morning at 4:35, It was a peaceful passing after quite a few weeks of care at the Hospice center in Hudson, Florida. Irene and Polly were right with her and held her hands. We are having a memorial service to celebrate her life on Wednesday at 10 am. The service will be for Elizabeth Carol Loy - Betty Born November 6, 1952 Died May 29, 2005 and it will be held at Dobies Funeral Home 6616 Congress Street New Port Richey, FL 34653 727-207-8556 Her care in Hospice was most wonderful and Betty thought she would like memorials to go to Hospice of Hernando / Pasco 12107 Majestic Blvd Hudson, FL 34668 or the American Lung Association of Gulf Coast Florida 6160 Central Avenue St. Petersburg, Florida 33707 I know you all join me in sadness at the loss of this special gal who happy danced her way into our hearts...and always did so much to lift our spirits. Godspeed Betty...you will be missed in great measure around here, but you are surely Heaven's gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 She was a wonderful, beautiful lady, inside and out. She touched so many lives. She will be so rewarded in heaven as she was an angel here on earth. We will miss you Betty, so glad you are finally home and at peace. How fitting that she passed away on Memorial Day...she will always be rememebered, this time of the year. Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I, like Addie, wondered about Betty since it had been a while that we heard. I have cried many tears this morning over the news. I did not "know" Betty as well as many here, but her 'happy dances' over everyone's good news always brought a smile to my face. I want to believe, I WILL believe that Betty will continue those 'happy dances' for each of us. I hope we will be able to visualize them and actually FEEL the rhythm. I know I join with all of you today in prayers for Betty. I also wish peace for her family. I will offer up my day today for her. For Memorial Day - one more SPECIAL person to remember. She fought her own war and I, for one, will remember her. Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyn Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Something drew me to the boards this morning. And now I know why.... I am so saddened to hear of Bettys passing. But so grateful for all she has given me in my time knowing her. May she be at peace and I am sure she is watching over us all.... Maybe even doing that "happy dance" in heaven with my Daddy. Godspeed my friend. Love, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Betty is a wonderful soul, and her presence here with us will be truly missed.

ginnyde Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I am so very sorry about our dear Betty. I sent her a card a while ago and you think I had sent her $1M she was so thankful. She fought a long and valiant fight and never, ever did she lose her spirit and kindness. She was a major cheerleader for all here. I too am happy that loved ones were there to hold her hand while she started this journey. Betty you will be very missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy RN Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 What can I say that others have not already said. The last time I spoke to her she was still upbeat-she had accepted what was coming and I pray that she knew how much she meant to us.
