AG, Laura, Chris, Wendy, Ashlyn, Casey, & Aiden,
Betty Lou was more than a friend, she was like a sister to me. I have many fond memories of her and her family. Once in a lifetime do you meet and connect with someone as special as her. My heart aches for her earthly presence but I know I will see her again one day in heaven. I love you all.

Laura, AG & Chris,
I am very saddened by the news of Betty. It has been years since I have seen all of you, but you are a family I shared many memories with and will never forget. Betty was always good to me and made staying over with Laura a lot of fun. I remember she loved to dance! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love to you.
