Woodlawn, AR Sunday, January 6, 2019 Dear Family, I was so saddened to learn of Betty's passing. She was such a beautiful person not just outwardly but inwardly also. Having lived among the Bennetts a large part of my life I always had a great fondness for Betty. When I lived in PIne Bluff when I came home Betty's was the first place I went. After Lee passed when we talked she told me what she had asked for from the Lord. She had Faith He would see her through and it seems He did. You are all in my heart and prayers. I pray the Lord will grant you the peace of mind, comfort and strength to get you through the difficult days ahead. Please accept my sincere sympathy on your great loss. I share it with you as will many others.Carole (Doss-Johns) Rushing
