Betty Jo Speakman
A woman of strength, beauty and power,
Ready to help no matter the hour.
An angel on earth to guide and to love,
Betty Jo Speakman was sent from above.
Never to wander, question or doubt
The purpose in life and what it’s about.
She’s brilliant, funny, pretty galore...
How could anyone ask her for more?
Thank you, Dear Father, for sending her here!
To warm every heart that ever came near.
In each soul shines the love that she spread,
Inside our minds are the things she has said.
A piece of her spirit, her life and her touch,
live within those of us who have loved her so much.
In just a few words, we'll sum up her life,
Sister, Daughter, Mom, Friend Grandma and Wife.

Even though I have only known her for 8 short weeks, "Mom Speakman" has had an indelible impact in my life. As the man who married her daughter-in-law, I was expecting some reservations. Instead, I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from her and her children.
After making a Herculean effort to attend our wedding, she whispered in my ear, while giving me a warm embrace, "I don't feel like I am losing a daughter, but gaining a son." This was not a pleasing platitude, but a heartfelt statement of fact, which she has demonstrated through her words and deeds since that time. In my case, I can truly say she, (along with each of her children and family) exemplified the Lord's admonition, "As I have loved you, love on another."
