Betty was boss at Anchor. But more than that, she was my friend and one very amazing lady. God Speed Betty

I moved in nextdoor to Bill and Betty in July 2004. Great neighbors, even better people, lots of memories. Had the pleasure of living nextdoor to their daughter Balinda and her extended family as well. I’ll continue to keep you in my thoughts! 🫶🏻
