Dear Ron @ Family,
I will miss Betty very much. We had such a good time when the nurses got together. Betty was so kind and always lots of fun. You will all be in my prayers.

Ron,
My heart goes out to you and your family. I only met Betty once or twice, but I know what kind of man you are and I\'m
sure that she was at least your equal. As sure as there is
a heave; she will be there to welcome you home when you depart this early veil.
God bless you.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Kerzaya. She was such a kind and loving person. I remember her greeting me as I entered Fort Hunt Park to make a security check of the facilities there in the early 1970's. She was so friendly and had a loving personality. May she forever rest in peace. My prayer is that the Lord will continue to bless and keep Mr. Kerzaya and the rest of the family in His care.

I love you all and will miss Mrs. Kerzaya. I enjoyed her sense of humor. I loved the time we spent on your front porch with the park as one of our favorite places to hang out. Remember how your mom enjoyed my nephews? My memories will keep her in my heart forever. Please know I am here for you all.
