My sincere sympathy to your family. Betty was such a good friend to my mom for many years. I have many memories of visiting when I was young…there was always much to tinker with and lively discussions. Hugs to you all. It is so hard to say good bye. You are all in my prayers.

Thank you Betty and Gerald for raising those wonderful kids of yours. I’ve had the distinct pleasure of knowing and working with Jerry for many years. Have met Greg as well. Quality men. Now, Betty, you have gone on to that better place and heard your Lord and Savior say “well done, my good and faithful servant..enter into the joy of your Lord” May God rest your soul and grant peace and comfort to your family during this time.

We were so sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. We didn’t know until July 4th. We so enjoyed running into Jerry and Betty at Walmart and catching up . Always amazing conversations. Betty always had a smile and was a very warm and caring person. You have our heartfelt condolences.

Dear Hislep Family, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your dear loved one. I was not as acquainted with Mrs.Hisleps as her family, but my family and I give our sincere condolences. A wonderful gift that God gives is His Holy Spirit to help us to be able to cope with the death of our loved ones. I hope the family has much peace.
