Betty was a weight watchers threads friend.  She made quilts for Linus project.  She made a tabletop one for me that we use Xmas and remember her..  I used to send her puzzles.  When the rescue cat was too ill to keep, I sent her an automated one.  We lost track of her when she left her apartment in assisted living. Glad to finally find this.

Dear Rinderknecht cousins, I'm sorry to hear of Aunt Betty's passing.  I know you all can find comfort knowing she is now with our Lord and Savior.  We can look forward to being with her and all our family when we are called home one day.  While I'll miss being with you as you remember your dear mother, I'm with you all in spirit and feel both the sadness and joy that you all feel at this time.  Love, Jim Birky

My fondest memories of Aunt Betty were the interactions between her and my dad, your Uncle Billy.  They truly loved one another and loved teasing one another.  They just really enjoyed one another.

Sending my heartfelt sympathies to all my cousins on the passing of your dear mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  I am praying you will all be comforted as you grieve by our Lord  Jesus, as no one understands your level of grief as much as He can.   We rejoice that she is with the Lord for eternity.  We will all remember her fondly and with much love always until we see her again.  Love and a hug from Cousin Jan.

The Birky Family always went fishing when they stayed at a Minnesota resort every summer, where they were like family.  Betty caught her a pretty good-sized one!  Her folks, Bill and Alice, continued the annual fishing trip to Minnesota every year for pretty much the remainder of their lives.
