Aunt Betty was the most kind hearted person I know. When I was a little girl I remember going often and playing with my cousins David and sometimes Bobby. Aunt Betty had a little farm and once she had some piglets. I remember her showing me how to bottle feed them. I remember a lot about Aunt Betty. She made me a quilt out of material she had saved from when my mom sewed. She too had Alzheimer's and passed in 2003. But Aunt Betty called me to her house a few days after my mom had passed. She presented me with the quilt she hand stitched with love. I still have that quilt. I cherish it everyday. You will be missed but I know you are in heaven. I love you always.

Dear Debbie and family, I so loved Betty Lou! From the first time that I came to Thomasville after Larry and I got married, Betty Lou is the one I remember being so kind and sweet to me. Every time I met her she was the same....gentle and soft spoken. I know her life wasn’t easy and she worked very hard to take care of her family. I have always loved her smile. I am sorry for your loss. So sad to think there are only 3 sisters left. Prayers and much love for you all! Love and blessings, Larry and Sandra McLendon
