Ms. Montgomery was our best friend on the block. My late wife and I were her next door neighbors and would see to her. She called me her other "son" and she was my aunt in more ways than one. We love you Betty. Now you are with my beloved Emmy and she can show you the sights. Love, Tony & Em.

I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Betty! I can hear her laugh and see her smile in my mind's eye right now. She was such a warm and loving lady, welcoming and nurturing and always made a person feel so special. I know you will miss her more than words can express. We returned from a week in the Cayman Islands late last night so I have been out of touch. I did receive an e-mail from Sarah letting me know, so I have been praying for you frequently. May His Peace and Comfort uphold you, and may the knowledge that Aunt Betty is smiling and laughing again be a wonderful thought to hold close to your heart. I'll call soon. Love and prayers to you all, Trish

Bob and I want to let you know how much you are in our hearts and prayers this week. We loved Aunt Betty so much. I am so glad we got Mom and Betty back together in their later years. I will always remember the special time after Hurricane Katrina when Aunt Betty, Jan, and Mason stayed with Mom. I will always have wonderful memories of my beautiful Aunt Betty. Love, Sue and Bob Buck
