Brad
Your Mom was the sister I never had. We shared so many fun times together and secrets that only Betty and I will ever know- what a wonderful person. I will surely miss her as you will too but she is smiling at those snowmen that she loved now.
Take Care

Betty was such a loving and understanding woman. She was always cheerful and loved to spend time with friends and family. She went through so much in her lifetime and still pushed forward. This unexpected tragedy is going to take a big toll on a lot of her loved ones. She was truly loved by so many, and will be truly missed. We love you, Betty.
