Sending love to your family. Betty must have been an amazing mom to raise an amazing family! I'm sorry I never met her.

I have never met Mrs. Betty Derr and I am sorry for her loss.  I am blessed to be a friend of Terry for many years.  To know the kindness, dedication and hard work of her son, I know that Betty had to have been a beautiful woman as well as a loving Mother.  My heart is filled with sorrow for the loss of your Mom.  This is a very difficult time for your family but know that her memories will be with you forever and she will continue to be with you and help you if you believe and ask her for guidance.  Love to you and your family.  Patty Layman

Deb, Bev and I are so sorry to hear about your mom. You and your family are in our prayers and we will talk to you soon. 
             Love you, 
                          Tom & Bev Smith

Terry, your mom was a remarkable lady and she will be missed by many.  May God's love and comfort surround your family during this time and may your memories of your mother and grandmother bring you comfort and peace.

So Sorry for the loss of this, lady you knew as Mother.  We weren't privileged to know her, but we do know Kathy and if she had anything to do with the beauty we see in Kathy, she must have been some kind of lady.  Praying that you memories in the days to come will become sweeter and sweeter.

Betty was the sweetest lady I have ever met.  She was always so happy to see me and just happy to live life.  She will be missed dearly by everyone who ever knew her.  Now you can enjoy life beyond with all your memories intact. I'm gonna miss you!  xoxoxo

John, Kathy, Laura, Brian and family..we were saddened to hear about your precious, sweet mom passing. We have had you in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time. Remember especially her sweet smile and disposition and her love of puzzles.

Aunt Jean always had the best attitude. When ever we wert there she always made us feel welcome. When I was in college 1977 I stayed at the house with a few if my friends. Bob and Jean welcomed us as we were all family. My friends were treated like royalty. Terry even let us stay at his apt. down town. Always have great memories.

Remembering Aunt Jeanie and Uncle Bob today.  My first trip to big airport was when they took us there to watch planes take off and land.  I wasn't very old, but I still remember how exciting it was.
