Betty Day Lenschow February 26, 1936 - December 12, 2009
My life partner, my wife Betty, is at this moment in the presence of the King, "...serving Him day and night in His temple." Here worshipers attend to His Majesty in songs and praise. Betty from a young age had a passionate devotion to Jesus the Christ. I know this because I had the privilege to live with her for over fifty years as her husband. She was not perfect but she was made perfect in her Lord and Savior.
Anyone who knew Betty knew her because of her gift of hospitality. This Lady preached the Gospel by her actions. She had never done anything without giving her all right up to her last days with her family and friends. She admonished all with love to be the best and was an example for all to see Jesus in their lives. "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Many daughters have done well but you excel them all" (Proverbs 31:10-31).
November of 1992, her kidneys failed because of polycystic kidneys. Through the following years she had continuous issues, which required being in and out of hospitals, fighting in faith to beat whatever came against her.
It is an honor to call her my wife and friend. Did I tell you I love her and most of all, I know she loves me.

I can honestly... and without reservation say, that I have yet to know of anyone in my life who was loved by so many. That tiny lady with a gigantic heart for people.
Betty... my mother-in-law... my "mom," did not talk about what it meant to be a follower of Christ... she LIVED it daily. She did not have to tell people, she was a Christian... they saw the love of Christ in her.
She showed love, empathy and courage until the final day on this earth. She greatly impacted my life and I will greatly miss her.
