Dear Richard and all your family and in-laws!
I was shocked and very sad to hear of Betty's passing! I can truly say I can understand your emptiness and your feeling of being alone! You and I were blessed with two women who overlooked our faults and still appreciated our qualities! Betty was such a trouper throughout her battle with diabetes.
She carried her responsibilities of "mothering " her brothers and sisters after losing her Mom and Dad without me ever hearing her complain!
She was a remarkable woman and I know all of you will miss her terribly! I know she is at peace and pain free and will be watching over her loved ones as she would be if she was here! Look after yourself , Richard!
Love, Leon Driscoll
