Guestbook

  1. I will miss Betina and the crazy times we all had as teenagers and beyond. I remember she always called me a Funny Fool and she was my favorite Sinful Hussy. Oh those were the days… Over the years though, life happened and we didn’t keep in touch as often as we would have liked. But Betina was often on my mind. I just wish I had gotten to see her the last time I was in Rocky Mount. Kim and Justin, she was a very special person and well loved by so many and know that one day we will all get to see her again.

  2. I’m so sorry to hear of Betina’s passing. I have many memories of she and I roaming the halls of Northern Nash together in high school. I will always remember her sweet smile and what a good friend she was to me. Although we haven’t seen each other in a long time whenever we would talk on the phone it was like no time had passed; we just picked up the conversation like we’d seen each other yesterday. My heart goes out to Kim, Justin, her dad and extended family. Love to you all. Denise Phillips

  3. my niece,my friend,and my sister in christ Jesus she now rest s in the presence of God and what a homecoming she is having.I miss her but rests good though because I know that she is with God.

  4. My Dearest Betina, You were always a shining light in my life. Your love and kindness brought me through so many hard times. You made sure that everyone around you was taken care of. One of my best friends and closest confidants, you kept me afloat when the boat was underway. Your friendship was and always will be treasured in heart. You were always an amazing wife and mother. Because of you, this world is a better place not only in my life but in so many others you have touched along your journey. Heaven gained the most precious of people and I know your light will shine down on us all. Thank you for being my friend through so much. I will never forget you. 3 Carolyn (Holloway) Armstrong

  5. I am sorry about your loss because losing a love one bring much pain and sorrow. However, I look forward to a time when sorrow and pain will be of the past. According to Isaiah 258 it states death will be know more. Knowing this helps brings me closer to God at James 48 draw close to God and he will draw close to you. Again my sincere condolences to the family.
