I remember Betty as a fellow AF High classmate. She was a friendly vivacious girl. I have memories of good times spent together. I am so sorry to hear of her death. Jerry, Dick and families…God bless.
Betty was such a joy to take care of. Even in her final days, she still managed to smile at everyone who visited her. I only wish I had more time to get to know her. She will be truly missed by all.
Betty was such a treat to visit with. Even in her last weeks, she still had a sense of humor. My sympathy to you.
We were sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Phillip,
Betty and Sparky were friends of my grandfather, Mom and Dad. I remember them well. You have my thoughts and prayers.
