Betty was a wonderful lady I was so blessed to have in my family's life. Someone who had so much Love to share with so many people. I so enjoyed coming to Carol woods to see my parents and always made sure to call and meet up with Betty. I always enjoyed the vista, her beautiful smile and her warm hugs.
