I had the pleasure of working with Betty at the Sears Crossroad Store. I hadn't seen her in a few years. She was always very pleasant and made yo laugh
quite often. I pray that the memories that you have of her will bring a smile to your faces.
With deepest sympathy.

Betty was a great friend of our parents since high school. She was a great help to our family during my father's death and my mother's illness last year. We were blessed to have her as a friend.
