What an awesome lady!!! I only got to know Betty in the last six months, but she was the type of person you felt you had known forever. I pray that God comforts you during this time, but we rejoice that she is home! Betty-Well done thy good and faithful servant. My memory will be the last hug she gave me the Wed. before going home. Till we meet again my friend.

The most wonderful thing about a person is not to be remembered how the were but how they bring happiness to your life still. You Mrs. LeGrand still bring that happiness to Carroll and Leslie. Although you are away from this life now, you are still a big part of all those whom love you. That is a good thing. My heart goes out to the family of GOD'S newest Angel....

This wonderful lady has been "mom" to me since she married my Dad and came into my life so many years ago. My family and I love Betty very much and will miss her terribly! She is now with God and my Father whom she loved so much. Thanks Mom for being a part of my life and Grandma to my children. We will miss you.

Family--
Betty was very special to Leslie and I. We had grown quite close to her over the years and we thank God that we had the opportunity to visit her recently. I know how you are feeling because her passing is hard for me but we all know that now she finally home. Heaven is rejoicing and I'm sure that every single angel is singing hallelujah.
