We extend to you, the family of Betty, our deepest condolences. Betty and Roger were dear friends and we always enjoyed seeing them in Surfside Beach. We exchanged Christmas cards as well. Recently we visited Betty when she was at the beach with family. So we are shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. May God bless you, her family, at this time and know that you are in our prayers. With deepest sympathy,
Joyce & Rick Whitten
