My heartfelt condolences to the family, loved ones and friends of Ms. Betty Cherry. I worked with her in the WIC Program Call Center some years ago. She was like an office mom, and full of wisdom. Everyone respected her to the utmost. When it came to work productivity she would always out score us younger folk working in the call center. It was a honor to work with her. I thank her most of all for the life-seeds of wisdom she sown in my life. She will truly be missed. Much love! Prayers and Blessings Always πŸ’•Robin Hunley

To the family. I first met Betty Cherry when we worked together in the WIC Program for the State Of Florida. Our main office was at the Broward County Health Dept with many outlying sites. Betty worked at most of the outlying centers but Hepburn became her baby.She demanded respect from her clientele because her personality and her character of being a person of worth. I enjoyed our working experience and after I left the Health Dept and begin working for the Fort Lauderdale Police anytime we saw each other it was as if we never parted. Yes, Betty you were truly a great authentic never changing person. May the family always treasure her memories in their hearts. Co-worker and friend. Cassandra Johnson Battle.

Auntie To Know I Can't make you laugh , or see your smile nomore is what I can't accept πŸ’”πŸ˜˜. To Know is to love you. ❀️ Gone Ahead And Take Your Rest πŸ’”it's hard letting you god, But God Needed you more . -Love Your Aggravation Nephew Jaquan & Family

This has by far been the most painful thing that I have had to deal with. You were my best friend before I knew what a friend was. Your love never changed and right or wrong you never judged. The thing that I will miss the most is your consistency in loving me. Everyday I sit and think to myself she has taught me everything I know about living except how to live without her. I just want to thank you for your wisdom, your pure heart and most of all your unconditional love. It's going to be hard moving on from this but I know I will find the strength. Me and the boys will always love you grandma. Love Toy- "The fun caregiver"/Girlfriend Ru'Kai and Legend

Auntie, I'm so lucky to have known you and experience your love. A great deal of my childhood memories took place at your home, you were always so welcoming, and always down for a good laugh. I will miss you, turn up with Shirl for me, I Love You, Malek.

Auntie Candy, I won't say goodbye knowing I'll see you again. The pain the family is feeling will be everlasting. Towards your final days you looked forward to possibly being together for thanksgiving like the old days.. it's devastating now knowing we'd be laying you to rest two days after.

Thank you so much for being your authentic self, for blessing our family with your sense of humor, love, strength and giving heart. May our memories forever be with us. I love you always, Dia.

Auntie "Candyland" this 1 is a hard pill to swallow but we cant question the almighty man upstairs, ur weary days are done amd ur resting days have begun I πŸ’˜ πŸ’˜ U enjoy that Big Bounce πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ˜₯

Candy, I remember coming to your house in Alpine as a child hanging out having fun on the weekends. Then you decided to give me a nickname and always call me by that name. The last time we spoke on the phone, we laughed and talked trash with each other then you said, "Renee' you know I love you right" and "I said yes". I also told you I love you back. I am sad that you made your transition to heaven, but God wanted you with him. Sleep in peace Candy! Love Renee'

Mama Betty I'm going to miss you so much i will always love you & carry a special place for you in my heart because you were a very special person to me & My Mom Cathy & she loved you dearly & so did i so you continue watching over us & S.I.Paradise My Beautiful Queen Mama Betty Candy if you feel like sending me a text like we use to do from Heaven i'd appreciate itπŸ₯° until we meet again continue taking your rest Love you always MAMA CANDYπŸ˜‡πŸ’”πŸ˜’love Kimmie
