Cindy and family, we were saddened to hear of Betty’s passing. When we would visit the Arbors, Betty always had a hug for me. I am so sorry for your loss.

Cindy, just read about your Mom’s passing in the Troy paper. Thanks for putting it here for us locals. I think of your Mom every
time I look at my uncles antique basket with the floral arrangement she helped put in it. I am so glad to see the video here. Looks like she had a good life thanks to you after she left Troy.
