Darling Betty, I am so glad I had one last chance to talk with you. You were not merely lively, you were Life itself. The world is darker without you, but it was so much brighter for your having been with us. I have even forgiven Buffy for nipping me on he leg! God bless you.

Aunt Betty was a beautiful, wonderful soul. In the time that I knew her, she always brought a smile to my face and joy in my heart. I will never forget that sweet lady. She is my boyfriend, Billy's great-aunt. Aunt Betty will never be forgotten.
