My Dear Aunt Betty...you are and were such a big part of my early childhood. Memories of going to Jesup and spending time at Grandmother Duffy's house and always seeing you and Uncle Miley and visiting with Carlton! I can hear your laugh and vividly see your smile. I love you and I know Uncle Miley was waiting on you. Loving you always, Deborah
My Dear Aunt Betty! I have so many wonderful memories of time spent at her home in Jesup, GA when I was growing up. I got to visit her a few times down in Florida & loved my times with her. I'm so grateful that I got to share her 90th birthday with her & enjoyed a great celebration. What a long & full life! We will miss you, "Hollywood!" Hope you & Uncle Miley are having a grand reunion together!
Betty Roberts and her husband Miles treated me as a son and were there for me when I needed their guidance during my stay at the old Brown homestead in th Green Swamp Wildlife Management Area. We had many laughs together and Betty kept me well fed. They both liked to tease me and when I was asked if I liked mud fish I replied, “Hell no!.. I don’t eat those things!” About two days later Miles called me at my office and invited me to supper. After eating about 6 or 8 fig patties and commenting how good they were Miles grinned his sly grin and told me that he didn’t think I liked mud fish!! You could have heard Betty laughing in Polk City! I loved them both and am fortunate enough travel had the opportunity to tell Betty that and how much they meant to me about a month ago… I will never forget them…Larry Parrish, FHP, retired.
