I have always liked her for tucking me into bed at her old apartment. I loved how she patted the blanket and spoke to me softly. I wish I could go back.
We are going to miss you Betty, so much. We love you and we hope you rest in heavenly peace.
There are many beautiful memories I have about Betty that it's hard to think and just choose one. So I am just going to share some of the moments that I love and how she made an impact in my life.
Starting with her delicious mac and cheese corn casserole. I always loved her because every Christmas or Thanksgiving, she would always make this wonderful dish that I always made sure to save room for it. I remember there was one time that she took the time to make some for my birthday. No better present was needed from her than her delicious food that she will bring to the table on our gatherings with the Tejeda Family.
Having Betty living so close to where me and my wife Angel live , we tried to make dinner plans sometimes a few weeks in advance since I work in a restaurant and it was hard for me to get together, but when we did, I always look forward to it since I enjoyed talking to her and spending some time with her, and also because we always choose the same places of eating out. Pizza Ranch was always the first place that came to Betty's mind. I remember so many stories because of this place, many laughs we all shared, and many lessons that she always shared with me and Angel.
Betty was not just a friend to me, but a part of my family. I am so happy to have met her thanks to my wife and the Tejeda family. I am so lucky to have had Betty at my wedding with Angel and share another wonderful memory with her. She always told me how happy she was that day of the wedding and how much she cared for me and Angel. I will always remember you Betty, and rest assured that I will take care and love of
your little Angel , like you did. You will be missed greatly.
Betty was in attendance at my wedding as an honorary friend who would walk alongside my mother. They both carried the same torch who would raise me to the person I am today. I was so happy Betty was there to see me get married to a man who Betty knew and always said, "He's a good one. You better keep him." And that's what I will always do.
Betty, there is so much more I would love to say because I have so many memories I could share, but there is just too many I have in my heart and mind. You were there before I was born and have seen me grow..thank you for always being a constant in my life.
Betty, you will be missed by my husband and I greatly. Having you gone leaves an emptiness that couldn't ever be filled...
But I know, we will see each other again in Heaven.
Betty lives across the hall from my sister, Michelle. She was so kind to her and always offered assistance to Michelle. I had able numerous conversations with her and was blessed by knowing her.
Betty I want thank you for being my best friend I am sure going to miss you you rest in peace LOVE YOU and MISS YOU I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU Jerry L Brown JR
