Jetta and I met in middle school where we became fast friends. When we went off to high school and beyond, we fell in and out of touch, but every time we got to talk and/or got see each other it was like no time had passed at all.
I can’t believe this is real. It feels like we were just singing and dancing around my apartment listening to the entirety of the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack.
My deepest and sincerest condolences to her family, friends, and loved ones.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying for you,that God will comfort you and help you get through this. She was such a beautiful girl.
Jetta…….we love you and miss you forever and always! We will never forget the times we shared. Priceless memories.
My heart is so broken over the loss of this beautiful soul. We all just needed more time with you, sister. I don’t think I could have loved a friend more, and I regret letting every day life create such a mountain.
I have a million happy memories with Jetta, and every single one of them brings me to tears right now……I hope one day we can all think of her and smile with those same memories.
My love and sympathy goes to all of her family, but especially to Betsy. Your relationship with Jetta was such a beautiful one and I know in losing your daughter you have lost a best friend and soul mate. She truly adored you.
So sorry to hear of your loss. May God comfort her family and give them peace and understanding.

Words can’t express the heartbreak I feel. May you find comfort in happy memories.
A beautiful, wonderful person inside and out. I’m absolutely heartbroken to hear this news. Jetta was my best friend in middle school and although we’ve fallen out of touch- I will miss her smile dearly.
Jetta was a bright star, always smiling and always caring. I am so thankful I got to know her. My sincere condolences to Jetta’s family and friends. My prayers and love will be with you all, especially my dear friend, Betsy.
Betsy, we are so very sorry for your terrible loss. Death is so cruel. I wish there was a way to alleviate your heartache and make everything right; but, of course, there isn’t, and we must suffer. But God is a refuge in time of trouble and a solace in time of grief. So lean on Him. He won’t make everything right, but He will support you and give you strength as no other one can as you walk through this awful valley. We send our love and prayers, and we share, as best we know how, your grief and loss.

I am heartbroken to hear of Jetta’s passing. I had known her since middle school and we were the best of friends for a few years of high school, although we lost touch over the years. I was lucky enough to get to travel to NYC with Jetta, Betsy, and their exchange student Pernilla and the memories from that trip are some of my fondest. I hope for healing for her family and all those who held her dear. She was an absolute light in this world and it will be a little darker with her gone.
Oh Betsy, so sorry to hear this! You and your family are in my prayers. I remember her as a sweet little girl at church and the twinkle in your eyes every time you spoke of her. Praying for God’s peace and comfort.
RIP sweetie, my cat George and I will see you on the other side. Love, Uncle Keith
