  1. I remember well Nannie and Daddy Red being my Beth’s day care on Cedar Street, never a worry she wasn’t being taken the best of care for. I knew Betty from church but didn’t really have a chance to get to know them as a couple since Tom got very ill about the same time they married. Grieve-as-you must, not-as-others are telling you is right, wrong or indifferent. Cling tightly to our Lord’s unfailing and unchanging hands, He will never fail you.

  2. Such a great man for Betty. Didn’t know him very long. Betty is my life long friend.. God bless the family and one day we will all meet in Heaven .

  3. He was my dear friend. He was my pool and dominoes buddy. Great fellowship over the years. We took a long trip together lasting many days. Had so much fun. He was a gentleman and filled with kindness. I loved to be around him and Betty. Great people!
