She was such a kind and sweet Aunt. When I was young my family and I would visit my grandparents in Virginia. Aunt Bettie was always helping at my grandparents home. She would take me by bus to the mall and grocery shopping but we had to always get dressed up. I always thought that was special to go with her. She was always helping at hoilday dinners at my grandparents cooking,cleaning and getting everything ready to make it special. She was a kind and caring person that I loved so much. I can still hear her laughing and smiling. May she find eternal comfort and peace. I would like to think she is with all of her loved ones that have predeceased her. The loves she had for Uncle Richard was so true and sincere. May she look down over him and somehow let him know she is watching over him and help to provide him some comfort through all of this.
