Dear Betty
Even though jobs and life pulled us apart, you and Bruce always had a special place in our hearts. You were our best friends EVER! To this day, we have never met another couple that we have had so much fun with as you two.

There were always such good times we had camping together. The feasts we had over a camp fire! I remember the time you threw us an anniversary party at a campground. Fun times! You two were amazing hosts no matter where we were. And don't forget the holidays, the cook outs, pool parties, hay rides..... we were always keeping busy.

But things change. One of the Four Musketeers went on to a better place and left the rest of us with a big hole in our hearts. Rest in peace Bruce, and know you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Love,
Doug and Jo
