Morris and Della,
I'm so very sorry to hear of Betty Ann's passing. She was my lifelong friend and a classmate of mine in Andrews and at Mars Hill. She will be greatly missed.

Oh Betty Ann, you always told me you were going to come visit me in Minnesota. I gave you such a hard time about working so hard and to come to Minnesota to relax and take a vacation. You always just laughed at me. We had some great conversations over the years. Sherrill Ann and Maurice, we are thinking about you. love...Grant Brekke and Family

Joe, I cannot find words to express how very sorry I am to know that we have lost Betty. She was so wonderful to me this year in selling my house and finding me a condo. She was so capable and gave me such a feeling of calmness. She will be missed. My very deepest condolences to you and to all who loved her.

My deepest condolences to Joe and Sherrill and all of her family. I first met Betty before I moved here in 1990. She was so helpful to me in many ways with my business and I enjoyed so much our many good conversations. She was not only an amazing business woman but she was someone I was proud to call my friend.
Betty you made a difference and you will indeed be missed. You were an inspiration to so many.
