I know this is a difficult time for your family and I would like to offer my sincere condolences. I would also like to encourage you to continue to look to the God of comfort to help you get through this time. The book Psalms 34:18 reminds us Jehovah God is With broken hearted ..

Our deepest and sincerest condolences to the family. Words alone can not ease the pain when grieving the loss of a love one. The Bible provides comfort during these difficult times. Revelation 21:3-4 states, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away". May God give you and your family comfort in your loving memories and in His promise that soon we will never experience losing our loved ones in death and we will be able to see them again once they resurrected as per John 5:28-29. May these words give you a new hope, with deepest sympathy and warmth of heart.

I was so heartbroken to hear about Betty Jean's passing. She was one of the kindest women I ever had the pleasure to know. There was just something about her that always made me feel so comfortable in her presence. I know that she is walking the streets of gold but it is still hard for those left behind. Sending lots of love and prayers to you all during this difficult time!

Dear family, Betty was a very special lady that I looked forward to see when I went to Smith's in Aquadale. She always had a beautiful smile and encouraging words. She was a sweet lady and I had been missing her at Smith's. My sincere sympathy to the family in the loss of a loved one. Our loss is heaven's gain. May God bless you all in the coming days with the comfort of knowing an angel has been added to our heavenly Father.

Dear Family,
I don't even know where to start, how to express our love, and deep sadness for the loss of Betty Jean. She was absolutely one of a kind and we are not going to be the same in a world that doesn't have her. I think of her and Grandma, as well as her Father and syblings, celebrating together in Heaven and that helps. We are so blessed that though we don't have Betty Jean here anymore, we will have infinite lifetimes with her again. Heaven is a much more lively place as "Betty Jean Dean" joins the paradise that awaits. The memories I have of her are all invaluable. I give every thanks to God that Betty Jean came to school a few months ago and showed my students how to make corn shuck dolls. We had the best time. Time with Betty Jean was always well spent. She gave me the doll and I got teary eyed, of course, and I will treasure it my whole life. Betty Jean put in a good word for me when I wanted a job at Norwood. Because of that, I now have life-long friends in Norwood. I am truly blessed. Betty Jean was ALWAYS calling me and checking on our family when we were in times of need and she always had us a chocolate pound cake that she would lovingly bring to the house with an accompanying smile and hug. And boy was it delicious. She was such an amazing worker and she could decorate a classroom and work circles around me. She was always checking on me and others and she loved working with students. She knew each students strengths and she helped them rise to their potential. She was so good to Stan and checked on him and our kids often. She always put others before herself and I know her Heavenly reward is more perfect than any thing we can imagine. Betty Jean was funny, charismatic, beautiful, passionate, loving, giving, and a wonderful bright spot in a person's day. We are at a loss! We are so thankful that our lives were intertwined with Betty Jean's life. We are better because of it. We have a smile on our face when her memory crosses our minds. We are sad without her, but we will live in such a way that we will see her again, we sincerely pray.
I will always admire the way Betty Jean stood up for what is right on behalf of herself and on behalf of others. I considered her a Southern firecracker and she surely lit up our lives with a beauty that will never be extinguished.
My heart is with you family. We all love you. We thank you for sharing your Betty Jean with us. From the time Stan and I started dating, she was an Aunt to me as well. She never treated me with anything but love and acceptance. She was my dear friend and loved one. She was wonderful to us. You need to l ow that she loved you all completley! Every single time I saw her, she spoke of Don and his latest hunting trip, each child and grandchild and their spouses. She was so very proud of each of you. She would beam with pride and had a glow in her eyes with each name she called. She loved you and she always will and it will not be long until we can all hold her again. We are praying so hard for you all!
We love you "Betty Jean Dean!" You were our special Auntie and we will never ever forget you!
Thank you for having fun with us and making every day things extraordinary!!! MISS YOU SO MUCH!
