To my Aunt Betty Jean,
I will miss your smile and laughter and can still hear it today. As a young girl and teenager, you always knew how to make me feel special and important. Though you will be greatly missed, I consider myself lucky and blessed for having you in my life. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. You raised three wonderful daughters that I am proud to call cousins.
Love always.
