Betty and I practically grew up together in the real estate business. She was a "seasoned" agent all of 6 months when I got my license. My husband would often remark on how organized Betty was and say I'd never come close to her skills. You know what? He was right! She was a consummate professional. Even though she was petite in size, there wasn't anyone who didn't look up to her. Oh, Betty, you will be missed! But I expect I'll still be calling on you if I ever need advice. And I just know you'll be there as always with an open door and heart.
