My mother, irreplaceable. Granny to all who knew and loved her. Teacher of all things in nature to her little ones, Jackson and Jordan. She handed down her love of nature, gardening, and observing. I miss her every day. I hope she's fishing and gardening everyday now. I will always love and miss you, Betty
