Oh, how I miss your mother. She was a kindred spirit with her love of all things beautiful-from flowers and cross-stitch to clothes and jewelry. She blessed Southeast Texas Hospice with years of volunteering in our bereavement program, sending condolences and grief literature to countless numbers of grieving families. We could always count on her smile and uplifting attitude when she entered our office, every Thursday morning. Her love for all of God's people just poured out of her, to the benefit of everyone who encountered her. My life was definitely better because she was a part of it. Thank you for letting Southeast Texas Hospice care for her in her last days on this earth. Patricia Coppage

"Death becomes a heartache - no one can heal. Love becomes a memory - no one can steal." The memories of Betty Sue as a classmate and friend will remain with me always. She was a beautiful, compassionate and gentle lady. Mary Broom Morgan - LSSHS class of 1951
