My dearest Betty - We shared so much of what life has to offer - we were more like sisters than cousins. Many fun trips, lots of good meals together, fun times in Florida, and many, many hours of just talking and thinking we had solved much of life's problems. I am so grateful you were in my life and you have been and will continue to be greatly missed!

My tomorrows are happier for having you in my yesterdays. You are forever in my heart until we meet again. Then we will sit, talk and giggle like we once did. I love you mom ~ Safe journey ((XO))
