“We will certainly miss Betty, especially her love and care for all of her family, regardless of distance or lineage. We will also miss the great spreads of food she always had for gatherings! If you left Betty's house hungry, it was your own fault! Above all, Betty loved the Lord and we know that she has been received into his Heavenly Kingdom.”
