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.
Ahh the little Christmas baby, I have known Betty for most of my life. She came to Marks Sunset Manor when I was very young working there (I worked ther 16+ years), Betty always spoke so loving of her Brothers Leroy, Bobby & her favorite Ivan. Honestly she was so lite hearted and such a joy to be around. sadly she will be misses
