Albert, please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of Betty. Betty was a wonderful Christian and loved by many including us. You and your family will be in our prayers for God's comfort in the coming days without your loved one. God bless you. In Christian Love, Rudy and Lavangie

When you look in the dictionary for the meaning of a'good, Christian woman,' you may find a picture of Betty Follett because those words describe her to a T. She was an avid worker in the church, and no job was too tough for Miss Betty. She will be missed and will be remembered with love. Rest In Peace, Sweet Betty. Pat & Salvador Sierra
