The Creator is blessing Betty for her Life and how she touched so many people. She has created many lovely memories within those who truly knew her. For me those memories are filled with practical wisdom, joyous stories of loving people, and wonderous examples to follow as a transplated country gal. God blesses you, I know, Aunt Betty. Keep a seat open for me close by to where you are perching 'cause I know you will be able to fuss at me again some day. Love, The Brat :-)
