My condolences to Chad and the family. Betty was such a gorgeous, wonderful, gracious loving lady. I remember going to her house when my son (Joseph Rice)would spend the night with Tracey. She and Jim were awesome people. She will surely be missed. But know that she is also where she has wanted to be for so long. Betty give Jim and Tracey a hug and tell them hello for me.
Love Brenda White ❤️
So sad to hear of Betty’s passing. May God comfort all of you as only he can. Colene DeBruhl
Tommy and Jack,
Sympathy to you and your family at the death of Betty. Our families were neighbors on Dix Creek Rd #1 many years ago. Thinking of you now. Peace be with you.
