    Betty was one of the kindest, most loving person I have ever known. I remember our days at Brookhaven High School where she was always smiling and friendly to everyone. Your family will be remembered in my prayers. May you find comfort in knowing many others care deeply about your loss.

    I do not have the wording ability to express my personal feeling for this loss of a wonderful and giving person. I think, why so soon for this caring individual. All we have is hope and faith. My deepest heart felt feels for Betty's children Johnny, Cindy and sister Sharon. For we all will make this journey. God Bless.
