To Jimmy and Betty and the entire family,

I remember your Mom well. She is one of the ladies that will always stand out. I can remember her in your kitchen on Copeland Street, drying her hands and wearing an apron. And of course, she was always there at the DeMolay and Rainbow events.

The souls of the righteous rest eternal in the hands of the Lord.

Our sincere condolences,

John & Janet
