Ihad to come to the funeral because I had a hard time believing that my friend was gone. These last few months have been difficult, but now she's free of pain and resting with her father. To the family, Betty will be sadly missed by all!

Another White Rock Hill staple has left us. Betty was loved by all who knew her. We grew up together and she and her family were the sweetest people you would ever meet!! Her Mom taught me in Sunday School and Betty, with that sweet voice of hers, serenaded us on Sunday mornings. She will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family...

I will miss Betty so very much! We sung on the choir together at White Rock Baptist. She had this amazing voice, that she loved to use to lift up Jesus's name. Her solos always were sung with such passion. She truly loved the Lord! Another thing I admired about Betty was her intelligence, and witty sense of humor. But above all she was a very loving woman. And would help anyone she could. At home with God, free at last! Free at last, my sister! <3
