We were blessed to be caretakers for Betty during the last years of her life, in particular the last year when she lived with my husband and I. I say blessed because I do consider the time we shared as a blessing. God allowed us time to mend fences and to realize how much we loved each other. Those were such wonderful, sweet times, yet very sad times. We saw Alzheimer’s disease slowly take away the Betty we once knew. The biggest blessings of all were the times when only hugs and tears could heal what we were all feeling. It was hard for us to let go when God was calling her home. We all loved her so. That love only grew over the years as we (her family) tended to her daily needs. She was a wonderful Grandmother to my Children and Grandchildren and they miss her so much. Betty taught all of us wonderful lessons about love, generosity and caring for each other. I was also blessed to be with her when she was in Hospice and when she took her last breath. I prayed so intensely for God to not let her suffer, to just take her peacefully. God answered my prayer. Her passing from this life to be with the Lord could not have been more peaceful. For that, I thank God!! I know we will all be together in Heaven very soon. So my sweet Betty, until we meet again, enjoy your time praising Jesus, being reunited with your beloved son, Robert Lee, my Father, Howard and so many others who have gone before us. I love you so much!! Your loving step-daughter, Sherry##imported-begin##Sherry Bento##imported-end##
