I am very sorry for your loss Brian and family. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this sad time. Please except my condolences. God bless you all.
Betty was a wonderful friend to my dear mother, Nancy Gillespie Zavarella, since their childhood days in St.Elmo, IL. Betty, Nola (Wiler?) & Nancy remained good friends until both Nancy died in 2003 & Nola a few years ago. The last time I saw Betty was at Nola’s funeral here in Bloomington, IL and she looked GREAT! I was SO happy to see her! What a LADY! I want to thank all of Betty’s family for sharing Betty with all of us all these many years. I know you all will miss her dearly. Lifelong friends like Betty, Nola & Nancy are truly special relationships that are never forgotten nor taken for granted. God Bless Betty’s family especially this holiday season.
I met Betty at Kari and Aaron’s wedding. Betty and several of us danced to “Who Let the Dogs Out” and she sang along with the chorus. She was the “life of the party!” I soon learned where Beth and Kari get their outgoing and fun personalities!! My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Betty will be missed by never forgotten!!
To Brian and all of the Niesman Family:
I am sorry to learn of the loss of your mother. Mrs. Niesman was truly a kind spirit and loving person. I remember the first time that I met her at your home in Decatur. She was so lovely. She will be missed, but the memories that you have of her will be cherished for ever. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
