Betty was a friend of my Mom, Dorothy Meininger. They went on several trips together which were led by Betty' s daughter. They had tons of fun. When my husband and I bought our house in 1992, Betty invited us over and shared many plants from her garden with us. We especially loved the Bleeding Hearts.She told us how to care for them and thru the years we have shared them with many friends. She was a wonderful gardener who told us a story about a battle she had with a rose bush that she wanted to dig up and move.She dug and dug and dug the roots were deep and strong. Eventually she did move the roses but not until she dislocated her shoulder! She was an excellent gardener with lots of knowledge that she happily shared. Now God has picked her to rd his garden. May your memories bring you peace and happiness. Betty was a woman of faith and rests with your Lord. May God bless you.
