7 Condolences for Betty L. (Conner) Italia

  • I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I did not know your loved one personally, but I do know the pain of losing a loved one in death. It is my hope that you may find comfort from family and friends, and from “the God of all comfort” who can provide us with peace during such difficult times. – 2 Corinthians 1:3

  • Betty and Ben were our dear neighbors for many years. A sweet lady has gone to be with God.

  • I would like to offer my sincere condolences. The bible call’s death a “painful sting” as mention at 1Corinthians chapter 15 verses 55-56. However take comfort from what’s recorded at Job chapter 14:14,15. There it mentions that once Job had died God would call him and Job would answer, meaning that God would resurrect him back to life. I pray that when God’s Kingdom rules over this earth as it does in heaven, Ms. Betty’s name will be called, and her family will be there to welcome her back. John 5:28…
