Hi Ray,
I know we don't talk anymore but we were pretty close in middle school. I'm so sorry that this had to happen to someone as sweet as you. Just keep your head up high and never lose faith. I'm not going to be able to make it to the funeral but I will be thinking about you.
Love always,
Shannon Skelton

One of many cousins........Our childhood is the most memorable to me.Betty Lou lived with my family short term (The late Belinda,Tommy,Tara and Paige Robinette) in North Carolina.Betty would always want to hang out with friends later than given curfew so Betty Lou had her sneak out route..Because we shared a room it always made me so nervous..As we all knew my Mother would be on to some tricks and surely would come check to see if all the eggs were in her basket..she was someone you did'nt want to disappoint. My mother tried to mentor Betty with Life and being accountable for choices.Betty Lou and i always had fun together washing the dogs and doing house chores, cutting the grass and laundry,and all of a sudden we are grown... Not knowing what life had in store or how life could get so complicated from the simple life.
Family:Time is a big word.We all want to ask why?It is not our timing.God Needed Betty Lou home.Put your Faith in the Lord and his word.Walk daily..As Long as Betty Lou is in Your Heart she will forever live.
We have all experienced trials along the way.With God all things are possible.Ask and you shall receive.When the pain of the loss is more than you can carry..let go and let God.I am a survivor!Thank God for all the blessings!
Much Love Always,
Cousin Paigey waigey
My deepest sympathies go out to your family. Having a family member being taken away from you in this way is devastating.
Ray, I'm Megan Walker's Mom. We've met a time or two when you and Logan would come by and ride the 4 wheeler with Megan. Please know that my heart felt prayer's are with you and your family. Remember, they are always with us.
Sincerely,

To the Farnsworth Family,
I went to junior high school with Vicki and Betti at N.B. Clements in Prince George. I have thought about the 2 of them many times over the years and wondered where they moved. It was a simpler time back then as teenagers when we were not concerned with anything more than school.
I was stunned to see the story in the Progress Index about Betti. Betti was always so pleasant and sweet. I am so sorry that this sudden
event occurred. I hope that her family will provide a loving home for her children. They will need a lot of support at this time and far into the future as well.
I will keep your family in my prayers.
Warmest Regards, Carole Dixon Wiberg
May God Bless You In your time of sorrow and always.
Kids if you need anything let me know. Your Bus Driver, Bus 15.
I will keep all of you in my prays.
