Truly blessed to have you as my grandma. You made me the young lady I am today. Everything you taught me I will continue to live with and thrive to be all I can be. I will always cherish all of the memories that I got to share with you. I Love You and miss you being with me Grandma- Sanquisha/Your Boogie
My big sister and I had a beautiful long distance relationship. She always said she loved me unconditionally and I loved her the same way. Every several years our birthday fell on a national holiday. With that bond between the two of us has strengthened us so much. From this year on, our special day November 27th, will never be the same. Our precious string that connects the two of us has been broken. Betty has gained her wings and will forever be and Angel in our hearts. See you in Heaven big sister, I will always miss and love you. -Janette
You are loved grandma and grateful to have you as my grandmother- Jasmine
I could write a novel about the incomparable Ms. Betty Jones, It would be a great bench read. I am going to miss her until I see her again. –Linda
Betty you were loved by me and my family. You brought joy into my life since I was a little girl. I'm going to miss your bright smile and your laughter. When we meet again we can go to another concert together. Love you. -Doris aka DJ
