The Funeral of Betty Buch

Kristen’s Mother

Saturday, April 16

I took all of the photos without a flash so my shots would not be annoying during the visitation or funeral – thus the softer focus.

 

 

Our two daughter-in-laws. The lady on the right is Kristen’s sister-in-law.

 

 

The man on the far left is Kristen’s brother Jan. The young man is his son.

 

 

Grandma Hershey talking to Jere. Their friend Barry talking to Kristen.

 

 

 

 

The lady on the right is Kristen’s other sister-in-law. Her husband, Kevin, (Kristen’s brother) died several years ago.

 

 

Great-grandma Hershey and Jana.

 

 

Some of Kristen’s best friends, including Barbie in the background.

 

 

The ladies have been Kristen’s friends since teenage days.

 

 

 

 

A young boy signing a large photo of Betty, which was designed for notes.

Friends looking at a scrapbook that Kristen provided.

 

 

I tried to get a picture of these three – and this is the best I could do. Silly boys!

 

 

Jana cooperated much better.

 

 

Josh looking quite handsome in his new suit.

 

 

More good friends of Jere and Kristen.

 

 

Their Amish friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Josh sharing memories of his grandma.

 

 

Jana played the song she did the previous Sunday at the piano recital, as well as one of her grandma’s favorite hymns.

 

 

It was a cool, rainy day.

We were blessed to know Betty, and are grateful to her for raising a wonderful daughter.
