Betty Jane and I went to Miami Jackson High, back in the 1940s. The Wallace family was our neighbors for a few years back in that era. Betty Jane's
cheerful personality will be missed by her many friends. My sympathy goes out to her family.

Just a few words of remembrance. I worked wth Betty in the 1960's and 1970's at Southern Bell in Coral Gables, FLA. She was always friendly, happy and loved her customers. Sympathy wishes to her family.
