Dear Cousins Myra, Ned, Paul, Karla. I am so sorry to hear about Betty's passing. She was such a strong and loving woman. I remember her infectious laugh, her pearl onion soup at Thanksgiving, that great VW Van, our trips to Lummi Island and the love that she had for all of you. She will always be in our hearts. Love, Alison

Karla: Losing your mom is so hard -- who we are and how we view the world around us has so much to do with her love and dreams for us. We are praying that God will surround you and your family with His love and heal your grieving hearts. And athough she is not here physically, the memories you have made together will last forever -- and continue to bring you joy! Love you guys, Jerrie, Larry & girls
