I am hygenist at Dr. Kennerly’s office (Mrs. Legori’s dentist), and I had the pleasure of cleaning Mrs. Legori’s teeth. I will always remember her coming in with a smile on her face and a kind word. She truly was one of my very favorite patients. I would tell her she reminded me of my grandmother (who passed away 3 yrs ago). She was so full of grace and kindness, I sure will miss seeing her for those cleanings every 6 months.
Betty was such a sweet, sweet friend and co-worker. She will truly be missed.
Betty was such a warm lovely lady.
She will surely be missed.
Betty’s Family, I knew Betty at Vance School when her Aunt Jennie Creaseman taught there and brought her with her to attend school at Vance. Later we knew Betty at Lee Edwards where another Aunt Nelle I. Creaseman was Secretary. She was always an attractive and friendly person and the picture reminds me of her Aunts. We are never ready to lose our loved ones the only comfort comes our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the concern manifested by caring friends. We are thinking of you at this time. Joe
Please be aware that our prayers are with you in the loss of Betty with whom I was in school from Vance onward. May God bless and keep her in His right hand forever. Henry P.May
Harry, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult of times. I feel as though I knew Betty after hearing you talk about her during our lunchtime visits even though we never met. I’m sure her light will continue to shine on Asheville.
I am sorry for your loss. Betty was precious to us. I work in her dental office and have known her for a long time. She was always so sweet. We teased her about being our best dressed patient. She always looked so pretty and put together. She was a lady and always made us feel good when she came in. She truly loved her family and was always talking about Harry. We will miss her and cherish the times we had with her. She was one of those people who truly touched our lives.
We are praying for the family during this difficult time
To Ashley and her family,
Please know that your friends in Colorado Springs are thinking of you all at this time.
Dear Ashley,
Our sympathy to you and your family. I know your grandmother loved you very much and you will certainly miss her presence. May you find comfort in the loving arms of your friends. Our heart goes out to you with love, Anita Carson (Lori Ann’s Sister)
