I have not seen Mrs Sheehan or the family in years. But I will always remember the great times we shared when we were younger.
May God Bless You All.

All though I never saw my Aunt
Betty that often, she always held
a special place in my heart. I remember her sparkling eyes...
Aunt Betty was my Mom's (Isabel
(Walrath) Griffith) sister.
My deepest sympathies to the family.

My Heart goes out to Cathy & her siblings. For me, I always think my folks will just always be there, reality
tells me something else. Bless Cathy as I know she gave all of her time in a selfless fashion to her mom. Its the cycle of life. I wish all peace and comfort in knowing she is now no longer suffering and living in a better place. My heart goes out & I am truley sorry for this loss & void, When it comes to Mom there is no contest. Cathy I will keep you & your family in my prayers. sincerly

There will NEVER be another Mom like Betty. She worked hard all her life, raised 7 wonderful children to be strong & independant and helped those who needed a Mom when things were tough (no matter how tough she had it at the time). She shared a smile, hug & kiss and lecture when needed and was always THERE for us. She will always have a special place in my heart. I love all of you!!!!!
