Having known Mrs. Betty Jean for almost fifty years, through my friendship with Bett, I am grateful for the beautiful life she lived. I cherish the relationship with the mothers of my closest friends, since I lost my own mother prematurely. The Lairds and Johnsons always made me feel like family, and for that I will be forever grateful.
So many memories- happy, sad, and hilarious through these years.
Mrs. Betty Jean´s was a life well- lived, and now she is resting in The Everlasting Arms. God is SO good.
