Ms. Betty was my parents neighbor. She was so good to my Mama when she went through her cancer battle, and so good to me and Daddy when we lost Mama. Then she was so good to me when Daddy got sick and we lost him. She was truly one of a kind, and a very loving, caring person. Her family are in my thoughts and prayers.
