To the family of Betty Conners,
Today was very hard for all the family and friends that attended the memorial for Betty. I was blessed to be part of this family for 50 years as a dear friend to one of the daughters.In 1965 when I moved from San Diego little did I know that I would be a part of a wonderful family. I considered Bob and Betty as my other parents especially when I lost both of mine. I'm blessed to have known both of them and I pray that both of them will find eternal life in heaven. Bob and Betty thank you for all the wonderful memories. As they say, people come into our lives for a reason and I know that they came into mine.
Thank you for sharing your parents with everyone. Everyone remembers the smile and laugh your mom always had. I'm sure she was smiling today seeing all her children and friends together.
God bless
Pauline
