Marlin, Mike and Kevin- Betty was my second Mom for so many years. She meant the world to me and I feel blessed to have known such a wonderful person. She instilled in me the gift of unconditional love. She gave so much of herself, never asking for anything in return. Betty's smile could light up any room, now it is lighting up Heaven. She will be missed by all those who were lucky enough to have known her. I am sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers.

Betty was a friend, a room-mate, a sister I never had. So many wonderful memories of her. She was always there for me. Thinking of you during this very difficult time. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of her and the wonderful life you shared with her. There is a new star in the sky now and I'm sure she has a front row seat up there now and wouldn't trade places with any of us. May God comfort you, my thoughts and prayers are with each of you.
