Dear Peggy, Thom, Joe and Eileen,
I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Betty's passing. She was always my favorite aunt. I hope it's a comfort to know that she is now with our Lord and Savior and not suffering from the Alzhimers anymore. She didn't deserve to be suffering, she was an awesome lady with a great smile and laugh!
Love,
Lori Strauss-Heckman
