I dedicate my online archive to Betty Burton, my grandmother. I had the pleasure of being one of her grandchildren, and the privilege to live in her house during my adolescence. Her legacy lives on through her children, grandchildren, and the spiritual foundation she worked diligently establish in the Burton family. In addition to this, Grandma Betty was a minister, small real estate developer, tax business owner, and much more. Her lifetime of independence and leadership inspired me to create Betty’s Book.
