Depend on Him at all times...before Him pour out the pain that's within. God, is a refuge for us. (Ps. 62:8)

C Johnson

This is such sad news. Your mom was one special lady! From my days at Overlee to the recent times chatting with my husband, son and me in our store, she will be missed.  Even our employees have been asking about Ms Betty.
Sending love and prayers to each of you.

Mrs.Hawthorne was truly special..Her love of animals,particularly,ones needing a home or care was inspiring. Her home was a haven for them as well as for her beloved little dog.
    She loved children too and taught preschoolers in Sunday School for  nearly thirty years. Often when we were out, an adult would come to  happily tell her,"You were my Sunday School teacher when I was three!"
 So many lovely memories.

A wonderful lady and teacher whose words of wisdom in raising children, and her love of all of God's creatures, resonate with many of us today.  She lived her faith and our family expresses our love and condolences to her family.  There will never be another like her.

All the Echalar family (Overlee) remember your mom with fondness! She was always so active at the pool and in the community! Gigi Echalar - Arlington, VA

Sorry to hear the news.  Your mom was a pillar of the community, and an inspiration to me.

I'm so sorry to learn of this. Your mom is always in my thoughts. Our love to all of you, Liz Gieske DeFeo

So sorry to hear of your mom's passing.  Know that she is at peace shining down on you all.  Much Love, Lisa Cournoyer and Family
