Thank you for letting me be a small part of Betty’s life. She had a contagious smile and giggle that would light up the whole room. I will miss her very much. My thoughts are with you both.
YOUR MOM AND DAD WERE LOVELY PEOPLE. I AM GLAD THAT CHARLIE AND I GOT TO KNOW THEM IF ONLY FOR A BRIEF TIME.OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. OUR HOPE IS THAT THE FOND MEMORIES THAT YOU HAVE OF YOUR FOLKS WILL BE WITH YOU THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.
