"My sincere condolences to all of Betty's family! For all of my childhood and for years beyond, the Millers lived next door to my grandparents, Faye and Sonny Wilson. It was extra special because both sets of Aunt Becky and Uncle Ricky parents were neighbors and the Millers felt like an extension of my family. I was always welcome at the Millers and especially remember playing in the sprinklers in their yard in the summertime. She lived a long and full life and her legacy will endure! Rejoice in knowing she's in her heavenly home, cherish the sweet memories and take comfort in knowing you'll be together again."
