"Richard, Kim and family you are in our prayers. Betty was a sweet woman and will be missed. "
"In the last few years I had gotten to know Betty, who was my first cousin on my mamas side of the family. I grew to love her dearly. She was a wonderful, loving and caring person. We talked about getting together and visiting with our whole families, but the virus put a hold on that. I'm going to miss her warm smile. "
"Mammy, out of all the years we've spent together, some good some bad, but they were all filled with love and respect for each other. You will be greatly missed. I Love You!"
