OH, how sad I am to learn of this wonderful woman's passing. Bettie was the first person who welcomed me as a friend when Reggie and I bought our condo from her in Wild Oak Bay. She had been a friend to Reggie for years prior to that. She was a wonderful human being and such a gift from God to all that knew her.

I was a Realtor in Bradenton for several years before moving out of state. Bettie was a courteous lady and a real professional. May she rest in peace with our Lord. My deepest condolences to her family and loved ones.
