Betty,Buckeye's Rose in the garden of life! Betty's body candle burnt out but her legend will always live...Betty was a daughter,sister,grandaughter, lover & wife, she become a mother, a caregiver and friend to all! In honor, Disney would name her Princess Butterfly kisses! She loved cooking and never left a stone unturned to find that next cookbook and yes, she collected them! Betty loved a yard or rummage sale, because you know, one man's junk is another woman's treasure! To you Betty, we sing, Amazing Grace! I luv u!
