Open your Webster's and turn to "class act." See the picture? It's Mrs. Isbell. What a wonderful woman. I always look forward to my visits with Uncle Jackie, Aunt Janie, J.J. and Julie--but the added bonus of spending time with Mrs. Isbell was great. She had the gift of making you feel special. I'll miss you
" Mizbell." I'll never forget your kindness.

Grammy I hope that I am growing to become the lady that you always were. Grampy always said that you were so beautiful that young men would step off the sidewalk when you walk by and expect that to be true because you always looked beautiful - even in a bathrobe. You were beautiful from the inside and out. I miss you so much, Grammy. I hear you sing to me this morning and I wished you well when your red wings flapped away.

Betty Isbell was truly a wonderful woman who dedicated her life to her "three girls", her family & friends, and was loved by all who knew her. It is easy to judge her life's success by her three fine daughters -- one of whom is our dearest friend. Our sincere condolences to Sue, Jane, Betsy and her entire family.
