Penny and Greg, My deepest sympathy goes out to you for the lose of your mother Betty. Your mother and father were very good friends to our family for many years and I will miss them both dearly. I am a far better person for having had the opportunity to meet your mother and father and the happiness that they had given to our family for so many years. Betty rest in peace and may God be with you Penny and Greg.
