Dear sweet Betty. We had a such pleasant family chats on the phone in recent years. Husband Bob was my late mother’s WV first cousin. I’m so sorry Holly and family. My late but very sincere sympathy.

Dear Family,
I am truly sorry for your loss. Betty was such a lovely person. I was not fortunate enough to meet her in person but got to know her when she worked at ABCA. She was the friendly voice at the other end of the phone line who would help me each year during the annual conference registration. I missed speaking to her after she retired. I know she will be missed my many.
Sincerely,
Connie Buchanan

Dear Family,
I never met Betty in person but was fortunate enough to have worked with her through ABCA. She was the person who helped me register the staff from my office for the annual attendance at the conference. Betty was such a lovely lady. I've missed working and speaking to her since she retired. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Connie Buchanan

So sad to hear the passing of Betty. Her and Bob were wonderful people with so much love in their hearts. They also shared an amazing passion for AB. We were truly blessed to have them as a part of our family. They made me feel so welcomed when I started my new position at AB.
