Bettie Mae you have always been a great joy in all of our lives. I remember the love we shared with each other. The times that we were at Aunt Minnie's house on Pilgrim Street where we grew up. At Aunt Minnie's house. We were a big loving family that always loved each other. We shared with one another and we cared for one another. My hope now is that we will continue to love one another as we grew up together. I am so sorry that I am not able to be there with the family today. I am not there in flesh but my spirit is there with you all. Let the Lord be with you all and bless. I am leaving this scripture with you all. Ps: He he dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadows of the all mighty. Love you all, Valerie Williams
