Kiss TIFF for us, today is two years, and for all animals in need and in peril and their families we pray, THANK YOU BETTY, TIFF feed the horses with your new haybale, and enjoy the sunshine with Betty, just purrfectly...

I was deeply saddened by the passing of Betty.  I had the opportunity to become friends with her through Rainbow Bridge when I had lost my dog...She had comforted me and gave me some encouraging words.  We then began to become email friends. My heart goes out to her family..I know she will be deeply missed.  Even though I did not personally meet her, I will definitely miss her and her emails.  Rest in peace, Betty.

We love you, Betty.  You will be greatly missed.  Cyd Hayes, Mpls., MN

My deepest condolences to Betty's family and friends on their loss of this very special lady, with a wry sense of humor.  I'm so sorry for your loss, Cindy, Debbie, & Jay.  You can rest in the knowledge that Betty loved you very much.  I met Betty about 7-8 years ago while visiting her mother, Alma, at her home in San Antonio.  Alma (my adopted grandmother) and I became good friends while living in Ahwatukee, AZ, during 1996.  It was my pleasure to attend Alma's 100th birthday celebration.  It also was my pleasure to become friends with Betty after that.  I love you, Betty.  I know that you are in Heaven with Jesus and Brande now. Rest in Peace.  Love, Cyd (Cynthia) Hayes, Mpls, MN.  cydoh@yahoo.com

Rest in peace Dear Betty. May you dwell in the house of the Lord for all eternity.  You will be missed by so many.  Thank you for all your thoughtful and encouraging words of condolences and sympathy that you sent to so many at Rainbow Bridge.  I will miss talking with you on email.

I was so deeply saddened to hear of Betty's passing.  She was a wonderful lady with very strong beliefs.  I will miss her greatly and her many emails.  I know she is reunited with her furbaby, Brande, in Heaven now and her mother who passed before her.  I have never met her in person, but she shone through in her emails.  Heaven has gained another angel.  My deepest sympathy to Betty's family.

I met Betty at Lexus after selling her the Lexus she drove.  We became friends and email buddies.  She was a ray of sunshine and very kind.  My prayers are with her family at this very difficult time.

I also came to know of Betty online-through Rainbows Bridge pet loss website.  She had kind words of sympathy and encouragement for those who just lost a beloved animal companion.  I can only picture that all those furbabies of all the guestbooks she signed were lined up to greet her with Brande in the lead, with all their tails wagging, to welcome Betty, a new and beloved angel, to their sides. My deepest sympathy to her family.

I met Betty through Rainbows Bridge and also became an email friend.  I am deeply saddened at her loss.  Will miss her emails.  Rest in peace Betty.

Betty will be dearly missed. She was a great friend and wonderful person and I am so glad I had the chance to know her. Rest in peace, Betty. Your friend, Lauren.

My deepest sympathy at your loss. Betty was and is a very special Lady. I knew Betty through Rainbows Bridge, and an email friend. Betty was a very kind and helpful Lady She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time and hope you find peace in knowing that she is forever in your heart. and will be watching over you from heaven. Betty was and continues to be a magnificent lady.

My condolences goes out to the family of Betty who I (Idella)  had the pleasure of meeting & working for her through her mother ..Mrs Helm ...RIP my friend! Gone but never forgotten! Much love from Idella Curtis & the kids. May GOD bless!

Dear Betty, I can not stop crying. You are so very special to me and to many others. I am so going to miss you're e-mails. Thank- you for being my friend. Now that you are in GODS' house, you can play with all the fur babies .May warm thoughts of you comfort your family. Love ,,Michelle

Betty has given us so many things to be grateful for....her memorable comments, her larger than life persona, her particular points of view.  And she has given the world two beautiful, kind and loving daughters. May she rest in peace.

Betty,   Rest In Pease my dear friend.   It was my pleasure to have known you thu the last few years thu The RainBow Bridge. We have lost a great and loving friend to all. Marty and Critters----Indiana

Betty is the mom of my good pal and artistic collaborator, Cindy. Years ago I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Betty for a show that we wrote about our mothers. Betty was as funny as she was beautiful-- a great spirited woman with so many great stories to share. I am so sad for this loss. Sending love to Cindy, Debbie and Jay.

Betty was such fun to be around.  She always made everyone laugh.  Her visits during my mother's illness were such a delight.  She had a very unique way of sharing her thoughts and options.  With Betty there was never a dull moment.  I know she is there with her family and pets that have gone before her.  
We love you and your family. 
With my deepest sympathy,
Jan Kidd and family and Sasha

My Dear sweet friend I miss so very much.  You made me laugh when I wanted to cry and filled a the gap in my heart. I love as big as the sky and will see you again someday.

Betty was one of my regular customers at Starbucks. I was always glad to see her come in, and will miss her.

I also met Betty through Rainbow Bridge when my beloved Spit McGee passed away.  Betty always spoke of God's love and the life Spitty had before him in Heaven.  I thank Jesus for Betty and know her beloved Brandie was waiting for her at the bridge where they have crossed over into the arms of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  God Speed Betty - and Thank you.  JMHarris www.mybestfriendspitmcgee.com

This is very sad news- I 'met' Betty through Rainbows Bridge like many of you- and was touched by her thoughtfulness & kind words.  We kept in 'email' touch for about 10 years.  She was very devoted to her causes and her furbabies.  I hope she is loving & laughing with her family that went before her & of course her beloved animals.  Godspeed Betty, God needed another angel.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Betty.  Her thoughtful words and kindness helped many who sent their furbabies on to Rainbow Bridge.  I know she is smiling again as she reunites with her animal loves.

Betty was one of our special Angel's and loved by so many. She loved and cherished her dog Brandie.They are together again.We will all miss you so much dear Betty.

Betty was such a comfort to me at the loss of my sweet Daniel and Willy through Rainbow Bridge.  Her passing was on the anniversary of the passing of my Willy.  She was such a help to me.  She had a soul of a saint.  She will now be with Brande on the other side of the bridge where they will be in each others arms forever.  I look forward to meeting her there.  May God's peace be with you in this truly difficult time.  Remember that her kindness has helped those others who had special relationships with their furry "children".  God Bless you and bring you comfort.

Betty was a wonderful friend to all that needed her..two and four legged. Godspeed Betty..God must have needed another Angel Gramma to look after all the little ones.

We knew Betty through Rainbows Bridge and her messages there to those who had lost pets. May she rest in peace and be with her beloved Brande and all those who crossed before her. She was and continues to be a magnificent lady and loving soul.  Clare and Martha (Kanab, UT)

To Betty's Family,
My deepest sympathy at your loss. Betty always wrotes the sweetest, kindest notes to the parents of the residents at Rainbows Bridge.
May she rest in peace and spend eternity with Brande.
Joyce Nyhan (Rainbows Bridge)

Betty touched so many lives through her volunteer efforts with Rainbow Bridge. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time and hope you find peace in knowing that she will forever be in your heart and will watch over you from heaven with all her four legged companions by her side. God blesses us with special people like Betty here on earth and she leaves a footprint of love on many hearts. Cherish the memories.

I'll remember betty for her kindness and support for everyone at rainbow bridge. Our loved pets have a guardian now.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Your family will be on my mind and in my heart. May she rest in peace.

Betty was one special lady.  We loved her so much.  She had a knack for making me laugh with her unique observations about life, people, and pets.  When we used to visit as teenagers in Dallas, she was always busy cleaning everything from top to bottom.  The Comet and Sponge and vacuum cleaner were her favorite things.  She would get Heide to sing along with her at times and was always cheering us up.  I can't forget those delicious frozen tuna sandwiches:)  In her later years here, she has been a great friend.  She checked on my mom, and came to visit her, and I so appreciated that. Betty made a special mark on our world and we will not forget her.
We love your sweet family.
With my deepest sympathy,
Maureen Robbins and family
