Dick and Family, Im very sorry for the Loss of your Wife and Mother and Step Mother. I know that it is hard, but remember to Celebrate her Life and not her death. I am so glad that I had the chance to stAY with Betty for that time before Robin got there to take care of her, we really got to know each other very well, we had some very nice Heart to Heart talks and she was a very the point lady! I really liked that about her. She was a very nd souled person, she was more worried about Dick being in the Hospital than she waa of her own helth issues. I feel sad that I had gotten sick and that I didnt have a chance to make it back over to visit her again like I told her that I would. I know that Donald was there to great her and I also asked Mommy to make sure that she was there to greet her. The one thing that we must remember is that she is no longer suffering, cause r Glorious Lord knows that she had done enough of that. I was ery worried about her while I was taking care of her. Please accept my healt condolences. My thought and prayers are with you all.If I can be of any help or you need anything, please do not hesitate to contact me because you have my numbers. God Bless you all.
