Not sure what to say?

I recall that story David told, He's My Brother, we were good neighbors and friends with Betty and Mary Lena in Delray Beach.

How blessed I am to have known you. What a wonderful lady, golfer & BRILLIANT ARTIST!

Betty was one of my best friends. She was quite a lady and great golfer. She played for the love of the game. I will miss her. She will always be with me when I look at the painting she gave me.

Although I met Ms. Jameson only briefly at the 50th anniversary LPGA celebration I want to thank her for her generosity and hard effort in making our LPGA tour what it has become in the 21st century. She and earlier pioneers gave so very much of themselves so we could all benefit and live our dreams in womens golf. From what I understand she was a genuine lady who loved life and making it better for others. Thank you Ms. Jameson for helping make my dreams a reality. Sherri Turner
