Betty you will be sadly missed and we all know you will be looking down from heaven. You were a good person and was loved to be around. I think God took you to soon but he knew that you are now his angle.

You were the first friend I made in Brackenwoods. You helped me out with a lot the 3 years i knew you. Always had a listening ear. You never gave up on me even when i was a dumbie. Friends like you are hard to come by. Ill never meet another like you. i still cant believe youre gone. Knowing youre not just a phone call away anymore hurts.. but heaven gained a new angel and i have a new guardian angel. I Love you Betty.

Oh Betty...I've known you for a lifetime. Way back in the day when you and Rod met, that's when we met. I used to talk to you sometimes on the CB. You have been a part of my family from that time, on. You were a wonderful person and you will be missed by so many. I know you're in a much better place now and pain free. Fly with the angels, Betty.
