Betty Ann, When ever I think of you I smile. You are such a kind person that never held back. Always has those treats, organized of course. Always had thoughtful words of advice, never afraid to speak your mind. Always, always, always there for everyone and anyone. So many positive things to say, so many fun memories. Thank you. Rest peacefully beautiful person and may your food now touch.....

Betty Ann was always smiling. Always offering to help. Always bringing in treats for coworkers. Hard worker. Conscientious. Responsible. Kind. Dedicated. And far too young to lose. Be with God, Betty Ann. Bring him a piece of chocolate. :)
