I still think about her. Always tried to follow my recipes in cooking and then would fuss at me because it tasted so good she kept eating it. Still can´t believe it has been 6 years. Wow! She left this world to be with Jesus before me! That just means I have more work to do for Him. Until we meet again.

My deepest sincere goes out to the Franklin family. She was my childhood friend and became a family member through time. We had plenty of memories growing up in Scotland Square Apts. We came back across each other path just communicated with laughter and reminiscing. Betty will be missed by many. With Love my FRIEND
