The world has lost a wonderful person. I've known
Patsy (that;s what we called her:-) all my life. We
grew up together on Milton Avenue back in the good
old days when neighborhoods were close. I will always
remember her beautiful smile and gorgeous face. My
heart goes out to Terri, Crystal and the rest of the
family. Stay strong and stay close and remember the
reserection! This is not the end...Jesus has so much
more in store for us.

To The Betts Family,  
 My sincere condolences. Mrs Betts serviced many of my family members  ( Father, Stepmother,Grandmother, Grandfather, Uncles, Aunts, Brothers, Sister, Cousins)   and personal helped me thru many hard times. She was an artist  and the best in her trade. I thought she'd live forever. I'd always planned to have her make me beautiful at the time of my departure. God knows,  that Woman's hands and her impeccable taste gave so much peace in times of pain for so many. God bless you, Pat. I will alway remember you and I will alway speak your name. You left a legacy not only for your family but for Black Women. Your strength, fortitude, black pride, and compassion will be some of the things I will tell others about you. When libation is poured and the names of the Great Ancestor are called, I will be proud to lend up your name as One who's shoulders we stand on. As One who gave of herself adding more dignity and honor to us as Black People. Be Peaceful in God's unchanging hands.   
Sincerely,     
Patricia Solomon -Byrd

To Terri and Crystal, my prayers go with you during your time of bereavement.  I remember when the family lived at the corner of Winston and Midwood in the White House.  Your mother made everyone feeling welcome and treated me like one of the family.

My condolenses to the family of Patricia Betts. Almost 25 years ago to the day, I was a young widow with a young child and had to bury my husband. A friend who worked with Mrs. Betts recommended her. Her thoughtfulness and professionalism helped me get though it all. Her wonderful wit and sense of humor helped me smile, when I thought I couldn't. The world has lost a true professional and a warm and caring person who treated all people with dignity and respect. Rest in peace.
