Eddie and Bettie were the first couple to welcome me into their home when I started working at IHBC. I was always over for dinner. If I couldn't stay, Bettie had a set of "take out" dishes for me. They would bring me a plate back over to the church often on Sundays and leave it in the choir room after the second service. Eddie picked me up when I was having car trouble and drove me home to Elkin. They helped me when my brother died. They allowed me to rehab my knee by going up and down that beautiful staircase in their house. I will always remember laughing so much with them in their home. I was truly a part of their extended family. He was my "pop." There were so many little things that they both did that blessed me. I can't imagine how many times over you could repeat my story. They were a true team and now they are together again. Love to the family and I was blessed to be included.
