She was always the anchor of our family and we will miss her.

I will never forget Ms. Betty. She watched my brother and I before and after school in the early to mid-70s. I have many fond memories during those years... eating cereal and looking at newspaper comics in the mornings and watching cartoons and playing in the backyard after school. One winter the bathtub faucet froze with a long icicle coming out of it, which was quite thrilling for the kids but probably not so much for the adults having to worry about frozen pipes. I'm sorry to hear of Ms. Betty's passing, and my thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
