Mrs.Betty I love you.... To the family I wish that I could be there to support you and celebrate Mrs.Betty's life. I know that right now she is worshipping before her Savior and hearing Him say " well done good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord ( Matt.25:21)
