I am so sorry to learn about the loss of Betty. We were high school classmates at JHS. The last time I saw her was at a class reunion several years ago. Praying that her family has a sense of peace and comfort during their time of sorrow. Betty will be missed by so many people.
Sincerely,
Sherry Stone

My condolences to Betty´s family. I knew Betty from working at St Bernard´s, she was always such a character. I always knew I could enjoy a laugh when I popped in to pay her a visit in the Histology department. Prayers for the family.

I am so sorry to hear of Betty's passing. I first met her at school then would see her from time to time. I had not seen her since the last high school class reunion that she attended. Praying for God's comfort and peace to surround the family during this time and the days ahead.
