For Pam, Donna and Bobbie,
My earlier entry was meant for all families, but before your Mom's Guest Book closes I want to again send my heartfelt thoughts for you all. She has left so much of herself behind in you girls. May that bring you comfort and peace Betty would wish for her girls. Each of you were a treasure to her. She would speak of you girls so often when we were together with pride and respect for who you had become. Proud too, of her grandchildren. Together, we all will miss her voice and that laugh, but the memories she left in our care will ease the loss of her presence. God bless each of you.

Donna,
I was sorry to hear about your mom, we were talking about softball just recently and her name came up. We were remembering the hats she use to wear. I remember her always smiling and really enjoying the games. She was a very sweet lady, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love to you and Tom.

To Jack and Family,
It is with great sadness that I learn of your loss.
Betty, Janice and I walked through life as friends for 60 years. We had some great times, later laughing at the silly things we did together.

After Betty lost Bob, Janice and I took her under our wing. On one occasion, we decided to revisit the 50's by cruisin' North Charleston and all of our favorite places. I drove my Camaro that evening, we were excited about the good time ahead. We soon discovered that all of our favorites places were now gone. Where was Mama Kate's, the Coastal,and the Drive-In Movies? We ended up at
Mcdonald's on Dorchester Road and Ashley Phos. At least they
had a Jukebox. We laughed so much that night, and decided it wasn't possible to recreate those wonderful 50's in the 90's.

When she met Jack, her world
brighten and She was happy once again. Thank you Jack
for the love and happiness you gave Betty.

I shall cherish my memories of her as you and everyone who knew her. May the Love and Memories she leaves with you all be your strength in the days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
