My sincere sympathy on the loss of Betty. Betty and I worked together at Brides Showcase and I always enjoyed being around her. She always had a smile on her face and whenever our shift was over she would give us her customary " Tah Rah Lovey" as she or we walked out the door. Betty will be missed. God be with you all.
