I would just like to say a very big thank you to all of Aunty Betty's friends particularly those in the church who are have been as much of her family as we are. It has meant such a lot to us to know you were there for her when we were unable to be. It is good to know that Aunty Betty has moved on whilst such special people were by her side. We are with you in today in spirit. Aunty Betty always said the Lord is always with you. We take heart in that and wish her God speed
Thank you again to all of her friend in USA from her family in South Wales

We had lost contact but spoke often of Betty.
She was a real sweetheart and we were
good friends when she was married to Johnny
Jackson and to Walt Pyper. We pray for comfort
for her loved ones.
