    We had many fond memories of birthday parties, New Year’s Eve with the “ crazy cousins,” and family get-togethers. Betty Lou was such fun and we loved her very much. She will be missed. We send our love to Wayne and family. Grace & Peace, Gene & Connie Buccelli

    Sincere sympathy for the loss of a beautiful person and dear friend. Betty did so many sweet and kind things, that we could not begin to list them. We will be forever grateful that we had her in our lives, and we will miss her always.
