I have fond memories of Betty... the Ornelas house was the Kool-Aide house! As kids we loved playing at your home and witnessed the immense love Betty showed towards the children that she and Aggie were devoted to when they were involved with foster care. Rejina, Aaron and family please accept my heartfelt condolences.
