What an honor it is to have known Mrs. Betty. She has been such an influence of courage, endurance and compassion to me since the first day of our meeting. She had a wonderful, caring heart and displayed that continuously.
Loretta, and family, I know Mrs. Betty is walking the streets of gold, holding the hand of Jesus. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. There are so many lives that Mrs. Betty touched during her lifetime. Those of us fortunate enough to know her, will hold the memory of her deep in our hearts, and cherish them.
God Bless Mrs. Betty's family and hold them close during this time of loss, and in the days to come. (Friend and co-worker)
