Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. You will be able to treasure your memories of your mom.

Betty was such a unique person — in recent years we marveled at her determination to “keep going” . I always liked coming to your house and seeing your folks. She gave me two of her little “dress projects” that can hang on chairs, etc. One is red and green and I always bring it out on Christmas and hang it over the antique churn that I got from Aunt Martha. Good Memories! I know you will miss your folks — I certainly do mine — especially when I can’t do something like sewing or cooking and I need a little advice! You are in our prayers.
