I was so fortunate to know Betty as she was in the same home that my mother is in. Betty loved Jesus, she told me that many times, fortunately I got to tell Betty "goodbye" yesterday. I told her she could go see Jesus now. What a sweet lady, I will miss seeing her when I go see my mom. Rest in peace sweet lady.
