So sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed stopping over to the hotel when I was a kid and in later years visiting her when Tate was back in Mitchell staying with her. Betty will always hold a special place in my heart and want to send my deepest condolences to Tate and the whole family. She will be missed by so many. Sending prayers and love during this time and the times ahead. ❤️🙏🏼
