Sympathy to Corliss, Wendell, Janice, Angela, Donna, Donald, Rosena, John and the rest of the family.
I am so sorry about sweet Betty. She will be missed by all. I pray for you to have comfort and peace.
Remember the wonderful times together and you will see her in heaven someday.
Betty was my neighbor when I was a little girl. I remember being inside of her house and it looked like a mansion, so beautiful!
She and Ralph always bought from me whatever I was selling through school or the girl scouts.
May she rest in peace as she is reunited with Ralph and rest of her loved ones.
One of the hardest workers I’ve ever met, and always such a sweet lady. I enjoyed working with her at the hospital. I’m sorry for your loss.
