A sad day for the Waffle House

Ms. Betty has passed away.

This is a sad day indeed, when one of our local celebrities is killed in a fatal car crash, because of a drunk driver.

What NC State or Meredith kid didn't know Ms. Betty? She was THE person to see at 3 am when the club/bar closed and you had a bad case of the munchies. What a sad sad day indeed.

It's amazing the things you learn about people when they're gone. I learned that she drove an 80 minute commute, just to work at the Waffle House. When the inevitable homeless person stopped in for some late night dinner, she would buy them their food, or offer them a place to stay. She had 4 children, and 11 grandchildren.

Ms. Betty, you and your wonderful scattered, smothered, and covered hashbrowns will be missed. The Waffle House will never be the same.
