Betty,
It is so hard to believe you have went to be with the Lord. I spent part of my childhood in your hands and have some great memories during that time even though I was very young. You see my grandma Patsy and you alternated weeks to take care of me while my mom (Becky) and dad (Rodney) were away during the day. You taught me about "monkey blood" which really is just a funny way of telling a little girl that you need to doctor her arm because it has a scratch on it. I remember playing on the walkway that had dark green bushes down both sides and how exciting it was "great imagination spot". The space heater that was really tall was a favorite when it was cold outside. Some how it always made me feel so warm and cozy. I think you knew what a little girl needed. One thing you did is give me a little brown wood rocking chair that I have had for 30 years. The chair became a place to read and to play in. I have now passed it down to my 4yr old son and it has been a joy watching him sit and rock in it. I will always have a little piece of you in my home and I am so grateful. Although I don't think I was even in school yet I have to say my life has been touched because you were part of it. To a beautiful woman on the inside and outside may you sour high and continue to smile and laugh with our Lord and Precious Savior.
Love and Lasting Memories,
Sandra Pitts (Carr)
