Dear Bill and family,
For the past thirty years Betty has been a good friend to me. Every time we spoke she asked about my family. I feel like I've lost another mother. She was such a kind and hardworking lady. I will truly miss her but feel certain she is in a very good place with family and friends who have gone before her. Thank you for sharing her with me.

Mr. Galloway and family,
I just heard about Mrs. Galloway's death. I am so sorry that I missed it. I do not get the newspaper. I would have loved to have come and be with you all. It was a shock especially since I had just spoken with her last week. I will come by and see you one day and please express my condolances to your children. I will keep you in my prayers. Take care.
