    I just saw this obituary. I am appreciative of Betty for beginning the book group that birthed Unity Christ Church (now Unity of Wilmington). I did not really know Betty, but I did know Keith and Erika somewhat. Again, her actions have had a big impact on my life, and I am forever grateful. I am so sorry for your loss.

    Ms. Betty you were one of the sweetest ladies I knew. You always knew what to say to make me feel better when I was having a bad day at work. I so miss taking you to IHOP or Olive Garden when we would go to Wilmington. Love you and miss you so much.
