  3. She was Nanny to me and my family. We all loved her as our own and I know she loved all of us. Nanny was a loving, kind and beautiful woman who was always ready with a big smile and open arms to accept you just the way you were. She never had a bad word to say and always wanted to know that all the family was okay. She loved the little ones, and they loved her. We will miss her greatly. Love you, Nanny.

  4. Aunt Betty took care of us when we were little while our Momma was in the Hospital having another baby. We loved her. She was kind and caring and always had a smile. We will never forget her thoughtfulness.

  5. I’m sure Ms. Betty has been reunited with Mr. Howard as well as family members and friends, who have gone before her.
    She’ll get to enjoy all the beautiful flower gardens in heaven.
