    I am so very sorry to hear this. Ms Betty was my favorite lady to deliver meals to. She never failed to tell me how thankful she was of our volunteering.
    She was always so chipper and always dressed to the nines. She reminded me of my sweet mom and I always gave her a hug. She even offered me some of her fried okra one day. That brings a smile to my face every time I think about it.
    She was truly a blessing and will definitely be missed.
    My thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones.

    Betty was such a sweet woman. I enjoyed my short visits with her when I delivered her noon meal. Every volunteer on her route cared about her and often asked about her. Rest in Peace.
