My mother Belva Lippert, was one of your mother's biggest fans and a golfing buddy. My father, Eddie Lippert, likewise a golfing buddy of Dave's - both for many years at Red Oaks. I know the 4 of them had many good times together and my parents loved your parents. My mother always had a stack of "Betty's jokes" ready for me to read whenever we came home or they came to visit - Betty was a hoot. So, let's all think that maybe, just maybe, they are all truly eternally happy now!! Sincerely, Jacque Lippert Ziarko

My condolences to Betty's Family. I have known Betty all my life. She was always full of life. My fondest memory of her was when I was stationed in the Air Force in Korea. Betty sent me a birthday gift and card. You see she always sent me a card when I was younger. Our birthday is on the same day. We went to St. Mark Lutheran and worshipped our father in heaven together. She will be sorely missed here on earth but I am sure the Lord has something great for her in heaven. I wonder if I will get a birthday card this year?

To the family of Betty: My deepest sympathy to you all in your loss. No matter how ready you think you are for the end to come, you never really are. When you loose your parent, you will always feel the void. I hope your memories of Betty are happy ones of when she was in good health and not as she was at the end. I always remember her amazing sense of humor and hope that your memories of her at her best are the ones that will sustain you. My thoughts are with you. Linda

Dear Donna Lee, Bobby Jean and John my heart is full of love for you during this passage. Losing a parent is never easy no matter how long they were with us. I enjoyed seeing the picture of your parents. I remember when your mother turned thirty. It was the buzz of Garret Ave. Take care, much love, Ilona Mikula

My deepest sympathies for the loss of your beloved mom. The caption on your parents' picture 'Together Again' really chocked me up with joy and excitement for them, and sadness for your losses. So many memories you hold! Now they are but a thought away. What a reunion it will be when we all meet again in Heaven! (((((IHugYourHeartsWithMuchLove!))))) Debbie
