I just discovered her online tonight. I purchased her beautiful Volvo in December 2014 (drove to Pa. to get it from Norfolk, Va.). I, unfortunately, got a speeding ticket tonight and found her name & address in the glove compartment. So when I came home, I looked her up online out of curiosity. I love the car and take good care of it since I'm a lady of 67 - a teacher in Va. Rest in peace, Betty. I think you were a gracious lady. Thank you!

I will miss having tea or a drink in the comfort of her presence, the easy chattering about daily life, the knowing that she was always there.

I will miss her warm smile and her wonderful girlish laugh. So many happy memories she has left us with. She is loved by all who were graced with knowing her and I feel blessed and grateful to have had her for so long as a special, fun, loving aunt. May she rest now in much deserved peace and may perpetual light shine on her dear soul.
