I met Betty thru her daughter Jane. Jane and I became best friends in high school and she asked me to come spend the night. As soon as I met Betty I liked her! She was so kind. I tried to be respectful and call her Ms. Garner but she insisted I call her Betty. I admired how neat and clean her house was and that she was very sweet and friendly. I noticed that she loved and sacrificed for Jane and "Buster" so they could have nice things. Betty also was kind to her mom and dad and visited them always. As I got to know her better I soon realized that she was very smart and knowledgeable. She loved horses too and even though she was a cute little size 2 she had a big personality and those horses listened and obeyed her every word. It seemed like Betty never met a stranger and was kind and helpful to all. She really made a wonderful impression on me, and I still admire her to this day! May God Bless You and Rest in Peace Dearest Betty!!!!
