I have many great memories with my Aunt Betty, Uncle Dan, and the boys but I will remember her most for the sparkle in her eye, her smile, and her sweet nature. She loved her family with all she had and has left us all too soon. Cherish the memories and think of her with a smile.

Betty was one of my "moms" growing up. The McCabes lived next door and if they weren't at our house we were at their house. We spent many vacations, summer days and nights and holidays with the McCabe family. I will miss Betty so much. Especially her laugh. She had the greatest laugh. Dan, Ryan and Chris, My heart aches for you. I know how great this loss is. I love you all.

Miss Betty Lou was the prettiest gal in the nieghborhood when I was growing up. I always thought she was so glamorous. Of course, I was just a pesky neighbor kid! I am so sorry for your loss to ALL the Willis' and Betty Lou's family.
