Dearest Bet: You were very special to me my whole life and will always have a spot in my heart. When i got home tonight and turned on the TV, Frank Sinatra was singing "I'll Never Smile Again." You knew how I loved him and called me when he died. But I WILL smile remembering my visit seven years when you, Raymond and I drove to Boone, Grandfather Mt. etc., and had such a wonderful time. I'm so grateful for that visit! I love you, Bet Rest in peace "Dat Dootsie"

My thoughts and prayers are with you Lynn and Uncle Raymond. She was a very sweet Lady and everyone loved her dearly. My late mother thought there was no other any kinder than her. she always was thinking of others and truely cared deeply for them. I know she has been sick for years and God said enough, it is time to come home. I know you will miss her greatly, just rest in knowing that she is Aunt Betty again full of life and that sweet sweet person she always was. Praying for you both and Love to both of you.

I am so sad to read this. Mrs. Lyles was by far my favorite teacher in high school 30 years ago. She used to make me read aloud because she liked my Yankee accent. Prayers to her family in this time of sadness. Such a great loss.
