Liza, Your Mom will be missed by us. I don't really know what we will do without her. She was the best friend in the whole wide world and her sister will also miss her very much . We all 4 were the best of friends and had so much fund on our travels together. Lisa know that we will take care of Betty just like we did both of them and they took care of us too. We love you
