My Mother in law,
We very seldom saw eye to eye but I always admired the person she was.
Betty was the most caring and generous person I have ever known; she would help anybody or cause that she could. The standard joke between my wife and I was if you met Betty today you're probably going to get a Christmas present from her this year. She was the truly one of the finest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I wish I could tell her face to face how much she changed my attitude about life. God rest your soul Betty you have truly earned it I can truly say I know one person who made it to heaven.
