To be completely honest, I'm not sure I could name a sweeter, kinder lady than Mrs. Laws. Every time I was around her, I heard at least one story about her children growing up. She was so very proud of them all. I'll never forget her beautiful southern drawl, and I'll certainly never forget how she always made me laugh. She was the best.
Our sincere sympathy

With great sorrow, we would like to express our deepest sympathies for the loss of Betty. We would just like to say that Betty was greatly loved by our mother Rita Snyder who shared many wonderful years as not only her co-worker but a dear friend; as well as our father Leroy, my brother Leroy Jr and myself Judy. Heaven has surely gained a true southern angle, she will be missed. With much love,
