    Aunt Betty was always a joy to visit. She made the best ham balls! I am thankful she has been reunited with the entire Viets clan in our Forever Home!

    I unfortunately only knew Betty for 2 years before she left for Heaven, but in that short time I felt blessed to have known her. Betty is the grandmother to my wonderful fiancé, Tyler Smith. Without Betty and her children, I wouldn’t have the gift of this extraordinary and fulfilling life I have with Tyler; I’m forever grateful! My condolences to everyone who has experienced the great loss for this wonderful, godly woman.

    My condolences to all. Betty made the best gooseberry pie. I got to have a piece of her pie when Kenneth brought one of her pies to our famous Cousin Lunch.
