Dear Mrs. Jennings Family,
I met Mrs. Jennings at the song fest at Holy Trinity. She was leaving early because she was having company. I will miss her and our chit chats about Solomon McClendon. I pray God's protection and comforting for her family.

Dear Mrs. Jennings Family,
I met Mrs. Jennings at Holy Trinity. By her knowing Solomon McClendon(Odessa) who was my brother-in-law we always had a spontaneous conversation. She was a person who was no stranger to no one and loved all people she met. I will miss seeing her lovely face and our chit chats. I pray for God's Blessing and strength be given to her family.
Betty was a treasure to one of my foster baby's recovery from horrible abuse at 3weeks of age. The infant girl was so traumatized that upon release from the hospital to my care she could not cope without the constant movement that a special piece of equipment being tested at Shands provided. I called GAL and reached this very special lady, she said that they would help provide the rental fee if I could find one. After much calling about I was able to contact the designer of the special motion bassinet to inquire about renting one for use in my home. His kindness allowed us to borrow one and Betty saw to the coverage of shipping from GAL funds. It made a huge difference in the infant's recovery in the next 3-4 months. It would have not been possible without her caring help. Two weeks ago that little baby, now 23 years old , gave birth to her own precious daughter. Betty would have been so happy to know. I pray she does. With love thoughts to her family,

Dear Jennings family,Your Mom was one of the exceptional Mom's . I was lucky enough to have grown up with the family all my life. One of my fondest memories of Betty was when Vicki and I were going to a particular costume party. Betty said I've got just the perfect outfit. She went upstairs and returned with the most beautiful black negliee (It still had the tags on it) and told me to try it on. She said that's it,you look beautiful, take it wear it and keep it. I really needed to hear that as my personal self esteem wasn't very good. She helped me so much and I will always remember her true kindness. I am very blessed to have known such a great individual who always put everyone else first no matter what. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Thank you for sharing your Mom with so many of us.
Betty was kind and generous, devoted to her family, friends, and making the world a better place. I will miss her. She leaves a big hole in the universe.
