In life you only know one Betty Tunney and I'm so grateful I knew her for so many years. For those of us without a mother, you always felt like you had one in her presence. God love her, God bless her. I like to think of Betty and Sis having a good ol' laugh up there while sharing happy memories. Good souls...good souls...

You were a great Betty

Betty & I worked together @ the Burbank office for nearly 10years we had so much fun together, she was one of the most generous people I know. No one could make better Irish soda bread then Betty. She will be greatly missed. I called her Betty Lou & I used to sing to her that song, Betty Lou's got a new pair of shoes & she would try to hide her feet so I wouldn't sing. How we would laugh. Rest in peace my friend, Sandy Inglese
