My sympathy to all of Betty's children,grandchildren and great grand children. She was such a great testimony to me in many ways. The strength she continually drew from our Lord and Savior; her love for family by keeping the Harding Reunions going; her love for me, her cousin. I will miss her but never forget her. She was very special to me. My prayers for the family is that you receive comfort and peace through those who God sends into your lives as we wait and meet Betty in Heaven. Love, Cousin Shirley Chisman Platt

Saying goodbye is always so hard, especially to my wonderful Aunt Betty. I loved her and I know she loved me. What a great role model she was to me. Always loving her Lord, her family and her country. Her life's journey was not an easy one, but she just kept moving on. I will miss her. However, the good news is this isn't truly goodbye, but just until we meet again in our glorious heavenly home. Love you forever and always. Your niece, Linda
