    Dear Mr. James, Missy, and Dana,
    I was so sorry to hear that Betty died. My parents loved her so much. My father was so pleased when she came back and worked with him again before he retired. Not only that but I have special memories of going and hunting at Mr. Tinsley’s with my father. We are praying for y’all at this sad time.
    Love, Peggy Breeland Opiela and family

    I am so sorry to hear Ms Betty died because she told me she wanted to be here for her granddaughter who was going to be a nurse like her. She talked about all her family so much each grandchild was special as were her husband and daughters. She did not realize how beautiful she was inside and out. She was a fine Christian woman I had known forever. Cherished every time I ran into to her or called and talked. I am heartbroken for y’all and everyone who knew her I am going to miss her.

    To the Cothern family:
    I extend to you my sympathy in Betty's
    passing. She was one of my favorite people in this life and always enjoyed visiting with her when we ran upon each other in Brookhaven or when we both were visiting at Pleasant Grove. A first
    class lady in every sense of the word.
    May God's peace and comfort be with her family at this time and in the days to come.
