Aunt Betty was a bright light and wonderful woman. Please accept our condolences. I wish we could have been with you on Thursday but unfortunately, we had just left Florida for NC.

Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. I met Betty one day while I was waiting for a friend at the Olive Garden Restaurant. She, too, was waiting for a friend. We were able to get to know each other in such a short time. What a delight she was!

I was fortunate enough to share a Christmas dinner with Betty, Buster and Dot a couple of years ago. I laughed so much at all their stories...what a wonderful family. My condolences to all the Sullivan Family.
