To our entire family, especially Uncle Elliott and all the kids,
We ALL have such wonderful memories of Aunt Betty, may we keep those close to our hearts. I know she will be sadly missed, but always remembered so fondly. She was, what I thought of as, the Matriarch of the family, a kind-hearted person who only saw the good in people. May a bit of her be with us always. I will miss her smile and how much fun we had with our "scratchies" at Christmas. May it comfort us all to know that she is not alone, and now reunited with Stephen.
Love,
Stef
