Sorry for your loss. I did not know your mom personally, but she was my mother's 1st. cousin, who was also a Smith from Bishop's Cove.

I am truly sorry for your loss, Betty was such a wonderful and kind person. She was a treasured friend to my mother Wanda. Betty spent a few Easter and Thanksgiving Dinners and non-Holiday dinners with us before she became too sick to get around, she was a pleasure to have over and we also enjoyed her stories, she was quite a talker. Treasure your memories and hold them dear cause that is all we have left.
