Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Marshall you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Deborah Bradshaw Wood
What a beautiful southern lady! Bette’s love of family and the children she worked with was always apparent. I will always relish our early morning conversations in the Benvenue cafeteria. Bette was truly the BEST. My sympathies and condolences, Edna Corn
What a wonderful lady she was! And a dear friend! Our thought and prayers for you, her family as you enter the days ahead. It is sad to see her go, but good to know she is In heaven and free of pain. ♥️♥️🙏🙏
I would like to express my condolences in the loss of your dear loved one. The bible gives us hope of seeing them again in the promised resurrection to come according to scriptures such as [John 528-29] and [Acts 2415]. We find further hope in scriptures like [Isaiah 258] and [Revelations 213-5] which says in part that Jehovah God will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more, because God will swallow up death forever. I hope these scriptures will be of some comfort. With Deep Sympathy.
Dear Family, I send my sincere condolences for your loss. There are comforting promises in the Bible that the time is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus’] voice and come out. (John 528,29) Our Loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah God has also promised that he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more (Revelation 214) May it comfort you and strengthen you to reflect on God’s promises to bring back to life your dear loved one to a beautified earth where she can be reunited with her family, and never have to get sick and die, ever again. (Psalm 3711,29; Isaiah 3324)
So sorry for your loss. She was a great neighbor and helped my mom a lot. Praying for all the family. God will see y’all though this.

My condolences to Bette Gray’s family. I grew up in Sharpsburg with Bette Gray, Sandy, Mike and Barry. Always liked this family, Mr. and Mrs. Robbins were great folks, as a kid I would hang around their house at times. I always felt at ease there, so sorry for the lost of Bette Gray. The last time I talked to her was at a Benvenue High School Alumni a couple of years ago. May God be with you in this time of lost, prayers to you all.
Bette Grey was one of my first cousins. Our Moms were sisters and I LOVED going to Sharpsburg to visit their family. She was a gracious, sweet lady…LOVED by many! Sending love to Marshall, Paula, Gavin, David, Sandy, Mike, Barry and their precious families. She is a great Presbyterian angel now!
