Betty Barney,her name stands for someone whose path has touched my life, as well as many others. Leaving a print of friendship that I will cherish forever. Our lives are composed of each remembered name. And while we are not always aware of any special link, just meeting Betty my life has been shaped in a way I cannot put words to. For once we have met someone the years cannot erase the impact we make in one anothers life. The memory of her pleasant words, her reiendly face. For one is but a total of the many folfs they have met and whether we have known one another for mant years or fews, in some ways we are all a part os shaping one anothers life. The biggest gift life can give is meeting folks like Betty. Betty would often say ,How did I get so lucky to find you?, and I would say I was the lucky one! I will always see her under the hair dryer,in her glory eating sweets,which she loved! or wonton soup and egg rolls. She told use many stories about her life. Also she would say I would have lived to be a hairdresser,think I would have been good. We all loved her, especiaal me. Pam Conklin(The lucky person who fixed her hairs)

We will really miss Betty's presence every time we visit our Mom - Marie. They made such a good pair of "roomies" that it's hard to think of one without the other. Betty had such a light and sparkle that shone from her and she had such a wonderful spirit. We would like to thank Betty's family for being so good to our Mom. This journey can be hard but it was made less so because of people as nice as you. God bless you all. Rest in peace sweet Betty.
