Jay Capper,

I am sorry to hear you have lost Betty. I don&t get the paper and I don&t check the online paper everyday. I would have come to the funeral home to see you, but I didn&t read it soon enough. Our prayers will be with you and her family.
Love, Marty Biggs

Dear Jay,

It is a honor to have such a dear friend as Betty. She was the most kind and giving
people I have ever known. I will always love her, and as you will think of her daily. I know she is holding Peaches and enjoying the wonder of feeling no pain and visiting with friends and relatives that have gone on before her in Christ.
Now Jay, I have to first thank you for your endless love and support you gave until her last second on this old earth.
Betty and I would set at the kitchen table and laugh and talk about the cute things that our dogs had done the day before, and then we would talk about our lives and she always without fail speak of what a wonderful husband that you are to her, and all that you do for her. I want to thank you for taking such good care of her, she was so special. Jay you are a great guy and now it&s time to take care of you, which is what Betty would want.
Know that I am hear day and night for you. We will get through this loss together.
Keep Christ in your heart and one day you I and Betty will all be together again.

I love you,
LeAna & Jacob
