Betty was a sweet, caring, loving lady to everyone she loved. She would always brighten your day and night with love and hugs! She had the sweetest heart in the world, she was always a happy person, no matter what. She always had flowers blooming inside and outside her house and whenever the sun shined on the flowers she would always know that it would be a happy day!!! She would make you laugh, and she would make you happy, heck even if you were sad, she'd make you crack a smile! When I would go to the lake with Nana and Papa, every time I knocked on her door she would put a smile on her face and she would say "Oh my goodness Sheila Bheila" and she would always give me the biggest hug and we would talk for hours!!! I'm gonna always and forever miss you Betty!! Thank you for making me happy and brighten my day!
