In Loving Memory

Bette was a wonderful prayer partner for many years with the Monday morning prayer group at the rectory. She has been missed and will continue to be missed. She always included in her prayer intentions the work of The Ladies of Charity as well as for the religious training of the children at St Olaf's School. We know hat she will be rewarded by Jesus for her prayers and kindness she has always shown t o others. May God bless her soul and include her with all of his Saints. Bob, you have had a wonderful wife for those 61 Years. I know how you will miss her. God Bless you and all of your family.

Greetings to the Singler family in honor of Betty Comstock, as I knew her growing up in Ventura, California. We lived within walking distance while youngsters. Bette and Peggy were our inspiration to play tennis. Two years ahead of me in school, they were always kind and encouraging. I just opened my Black & Gold yearbook yearbook from Ventura Senior High School and spotted Bette and Peggy in their graduating and tennis-playing photos you've included in your lovely video. Thank you so much for putting Bette's obituary in our local newspaper. Happy memories of days gone by.

Singler Family, Deacon Bob and Pauline are so sorry to hear about your Wife and Mom. We so enjoyed her company whenever we were able to visit. No matter where we saw her she was always so happy. The last time we visited was at our 60th Wedding ann. As Bette and Bob were leaving they gave us a big grin and great wave goodby. We were so happy that they were able to share our day with us. We will be having a Mass read for Bette at St. James in Ogden. Our prayers have been for Bette and all of you since we heard. What a great day to go to the Lord, First Friday and the feast of Little Christmas. Enjoyed the video very much. God bless and be with you all, Deacon Bob and Pauline
