Betty was a special person who had a heart of gold. She would share anything she had and always giving to those she cared about. Her life was not always easy, but she held dear her memories of her Mother and her brothers. May she Rest In Peace and know that I cared. I tried Betty.
My grandma Mayhew was a very special person to me and many others. She could always make you laugh with her great sense of humor. I remember staying nights at her house and we would have a blast! There was not many people on this earth like her and never will be. Even though she is gone now she will always remain in my heart and memories. And I know she is in Heaven now with Jesus having a blast! And I know He will take care of her for eternity… I will miss her greatly.
