    Betty was a sister and my best friend. We where together since the 10th grade almost daily ever since. Our children grew up together and we all spent many holidays and fun events together. We were supposed to be together forever.I love and miss her so very much..

    I have such fond memories of Thanksgiving at Aunt Betty’s. My sister and I were always so impressed by her art, and I still remember her little poodle, Baby. I’m very sorry to hear of her passing and am thinking of you during this time.
