Sweet Betty. We remember many happy hours playing cards with her, Bobby and the kids, Debbie, Alan and David at their house and feasting on those great hamburgers. She was a true and caring friend to us. We will think of her often, knowing that she is with God and is at peace. We know that all of her family and friends will keep her memory close to their harts. God Bless all
