Sorry Scott about not signing the guest book earlier as I had planned. Both your Mom and Dad were very dear to me and to Nancy. Everytime she spoke of you and Tony, you could see the love in her eyes and hear the love in her voice. My prayers go out to you and Tony. She is truly in God's hands now and at peace.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Scout(Robin) & Tony(Kim). You have been right there for your mother, during her illness. She shared with me, how thankful she is for you. I had three special visits with her. She gave me unconditional love, wisdom, and knowledge. THANKS MRS. BETTY! Just remember mother loves you and is watching over you, like a special guardian angel.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Mrs Betty was a very good friend to me.
She would come in the office and just let me talk when I lost my mama back in November to cancer. Even before that she would always make it a point to find me just to see how I was doing. Now that's a true friend.

I will miss her greatly.

To the family and friends of Mrs Betty, I truly hope God will lead you each day of your grieving period. This is a very hard time and God will be there for you.

We here a Pee Dee Internal Medicine will miss Mrs Betty. She was always so kind and patient with us.

Know we care and loved her.
