I have great memories of my friend Betty. I met her in 1974 for the very first time at K-Mart on HWY 70 in Garner, where we both worked. We quickly became friends and started car pooling together. Betty was amazing! She loved her husband Donnie, her family, the Lord and she loved shopping! She always kept an eye out for special deals on baby clothes for mine and Charlie's baby, Amy. She shared with me to help her pray that she and Donnie could adopt a baby. I agreed and when that day came we all praised God for answer to prayer! She even named her Amy after our Amy! What an honor that she and Donnie's precious child is named after our child. Betty will be missed, but she has left us all with precious memories we will cherish forever. She has been freed from her earthly body and now she is in no more pain....she is HEALED and happy Forever with our Lord. Hugs, Until we meet again Betty... Love you, Linda and Charlie Lyttle

Donnie, I am so sorry to hear about Betty's passing. I guess since I know she was a strong Christian I should be happy she has a new body in Heaven. We will be praying for you as you make the adjustment to life without her. You'll were a good match. So thankful you still have a daughter to keep you busy. She is such a special child. Lots of love.
