Thank you, Mrs. Betty Ann for being a loving, interesting, funny, positive, confident and yet a very stern teacher. You always gently nudging us to do our best, giving your time, energy and talent to ensure the brightest possible future for each of us as children.
I wasn't a easy keeper at Pinecrest, but you manage to win me over with your beautiful smiles and many hugs in the morning when you met me at the gate at the nursery. That same love carried over to my son Brian when he started. You have been a blessing to our family and to many children. You will be truly missed and remembered! Sending our condolences and prayers to the family. God Bless you all with strength and love.
Love Torron Roulhac-Gibson, Brian Rhynes and family.

Dearest Aunt BettAnn,
You have always been very special to me. You are my favorite aunt. We had a very special bond that was never broken despite the number of years that passed. I will always cherish you and hold on to all the precious memories we shared. You and Aunt Shirley looked out for me when I was at FAMU. Aunt Shirley washed my clothes and always kept special treats for me when I would come to Marianna on the weekend. And you would always give me money! Always slipping me $20 and saying - "Stefie, don't tell nobody I gave you money!" I laugh as I write this message now. I will miss you, but I know that your spirit lives and that you will be forever with me. Rest easy, Aunt Bett. You are with Mommy, Aunt Shirley, Lil' Al, your brothers, Grandma Carrie, and Grandpa. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS...STEPHANIE!
