She was the best mother-in-law anyone could ask for, as well as a Grandmother. I will always cherish Saturday night dinners, and because of those, I still try to make sure I have dinner with my family all together at least once a week. She was an inspiration and I admired how she put everyone else first. I know she is with her brothers and sisters now and watching over her family like she always has. ?

What a wonderful person Betty was. I enjoyed talking with her everytime I saw her. She was one wonderful grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be missed by all, but, her family will have one wonderful "Guardian Angel" watching over them.
