I met Bettie in 1989 when I moved to Little Rock. She befriended me and I am forever grateful for that friendship. She always included me in group outings and was available always when I called to chat. She was good a good person with high moral values, and she took it well when I teased about her habit of being late to everything :). I loved her dearly and am grateful to her for many things. I wish you all comfort in the memories.
Keeping you in prayers...
