I’m just hearing about this. Betty Lou was the best ! Me & my girlfriend at the time would babysit the girls up at Sunset Cabins main house while Betty Lou would go out “cuttin the rug” somewhere.. she always had a smile & if you didn’t she’d make sure you did ! She loved those girls & because of her I also have a mild addiction to rice & beans ! She would call me & say “Yo Tom ” and I knew it was her. Plus she’d start laughing.. I know those girls have kids now & im sure Betty Lou is watching over all of them & she will keep them safe always . The world lost a great person ! And James, Snap, Rick & all of them are together & God Knows that’s a party !!

Betty, I heard you calling me this morning but you weren’t here.  You will always have a special place in my heart.  I hope you find someone new to have gummy bear parties with and keep up with the Temu fashion.  I am sending strength and love to your family.  Your girls have to present a united front for all the little ones now.  I am always here if anyone needs me!  My eyes are leaking now so it is time to say good night.  Enjoy being healthy again, I thank god for that for you.  Watch out over me until we see each other again💕💕💕
