    Rex and Family. I am so sorry for your loss. Betty was such a special lady. She had such an infectious smile and sense of humor. She enjoyed life and set everybody at ease, even in some of the grimmest of times. She will be sorely missed by many. I am so sorry that Stu and I will not be able to attend Betty’s memorial service, due to doctors appointments all day Tuesday, but know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    Betty and I were childhood friends over 50 years ago. Her sister Joan was a good friend of my sister> We had fun times together many years ago. Eventually I moved to Dallas and we lost touch. I remember her with fondness. Such a fun, cute and lovely little friend for a time> After I moved back to Waco I ran into Betty. I can see her as a young girl in her picture – her big smiling eyes. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I send my deepest sympathy to all her loved ones.
