My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Ms. Betsy. I remember first meeting her when I started working as a temp at Durr Drugs corporate office. She had a warm personality and a beautiful smile. May God grant you peace and comfort during this time of your life.

There are no words I say at this time that can fill the void of your Mom. Loretta was a beautiful person and an awesome neighbor to my brother-in-law, Charlie. I pray that each of you are comforted by our heavenly father during this time.
