So sad to hear of Betty's passing. She was a friend and co-worker. We worked at 2 different Banks together. Always a hard worker and always willing to do whatever needed to be done. Even thought we had not seen each other for awhile I thought of her often and will miss the lunch's we used to share. Prayers for Bill and the boys, I know she will be missed.
