MAMA BETTY: KIND, UNDERSTANDING, LOVING, JUST REAL !!! MA BETTY - A Lady that did not pretend what's it like to suffer different temporary mishaps through this life. Always willing to assist one that was ready to end a not working life situation and to begin again through her endless understanding of LIFE'S GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and MATURITY in becoming a better you. This lady through her big beautiful smile always made you feel welcome in her home. I always enjoyed her company.
