Dear Stephanie, Jennifer and Kristen,
To all Betty's family and friends my deepest sympathy to you.
Betty and I have had such a wonderful time together during our up and down lives. I am so saddened that she is gone, however, she will always be in my heart.
So glad to have seen her one more time.
The happiness she gave to everyone will, hopefully, be a comfort to all of us who knew her and loved her.
Rest in peace my dear friend and God be with you all.
Love ,
Janice

What a nice woman she was. So glad to have been able to know her. Lot's of fond memories of the times at our Mom's house when she was there. She was really fun to be around and I'm sure she'll be greatly missed by all. Maybe she and Mom will meet again in heaven and have a few laughs. My deepest condolences to all of you.
