This is lovely. A wonderful memorial of Betty’s obvious legacy in the world—if only for one person. And one person is always enough.

I guess there will always be joy, even amidst the grief, because you knew her…and you were friends. Congratulations on finding joy!

The beauty of having a "Betty Sunshine" in our lives is their light continues to shine long after they exit our lives. Hugs...

Hugs, Nancy. What a blessing to have met her and have her in your life, even for the short 11 months. But truly great months for the knowing of her.

That is my goal to grow old and spread joy and happiness like confetti. I want to be Betty Sunshine when I grow up.

Love you!

Thanks Jenny, she was definitely a joy to know. I've actually known her about three years, just wrote that post 11 months ago. Tossing kindness like confetti is a great aspiration for all our life. ✨💖

Hi Nancy, apologies for the late response to your gorgeous post.

Thank you to you and Betty Sunshine for sharing the joy. I am sorry to hear she has passed recently. Betty sounds like a very special person who continues to have a positive impact on people's lives.

"Joy changes your heart." Yes indeed! 💛
