What a wonderful lady Bettie was—and her legacy is carried on in her family. Her loving and caring ways are so evident in her wonderful daughters and their families. If the world had more people like the “Trainor girls” it would be a better place. Bettie you will be missed. May you rest peacefully with the Lord and your sweet,sweet Don.

I still remember times home with Judy and Jeanne . . . on the bus, at Cantrall school and Athens High and times in your home when your mom was great at making everyone feel welcomed. My sincere sympathy to Judy, Jeanne and Jill at the loss of your parents.
