We have all, Family and Friends lost a dear and loving Lady Betty Jean, whom I have personally known family since childhood and have purchased seventeen Holy Rosaries for family and close friends, and I know that God and His Blessed Mother will embrace dear Betty Jean in Heaven for her Goodness and Love to all who have had the privilege of knowing Betty Jean. She will remain in our hearts forever until we meet, hopefully, in Heaven.
