What can I say about aunt Betty, she helped me through so much and helped raise me too. She was such a sweet soul. She was also the first one out of my mother's kids to hold my son. I love you aunt Betty and still miss you

I love you Aunt Betty. If there's one thing to learn is keep your family close to you at all times and always tell them you love them. I was stunned when I heard this. I'm so glad I went to church with my family last Sunday

My Aunt Betty was a pillar to our Family, she has a nack for remember family history, Birthdays and how to contact other family members. She was a mentor, a babysitter for both my girls over the years as well as a tutor to them . I had the pleasure to dine with her and Aunt Patty at Church last Sunday. I regret not kissing and hugging her when I left. I am flooded with Many memories.
