I knew Betty through her daughter, Denise, who was a former student and my high school student aid, Denise's daughter, Rashawanna, a former student and through her grandson, Karl, a former student. She loved you all dearly and would talk about you with pride. My condolences to Denise, Karl, Rashawanna, and your whole family.
