Vondell Kis says
Bettie and I were great neighborhood friends and school buddies. we both loved playing baseball and other games with kids in the neighborhood. Her mother was a good cook and baker. Bettie and I loved her homemade bread made in a wood burning stove and oven. It was always enjoyed in the cold weather with melted butter from the heat of the bread. in later years I lost contact with Bettie when I got married and started a family of eight kids. I know she is in a great place now! She will undoubtedly be missed by others. Vonnie Kis
