Mom and I were very sad to hear of your Mother's passing. We have numerous and fun memories of her. The first memory was of learning her first name was Betty, which was the same name of our own Mother and also the same "Mother" name as one of our new "A on the Bay" friends, Beetle! One time, I volunteered to pick her up for one of our Monday night events at "A on the Bay". Trouble was, I couldn't find her as there was no one home to answer the door at her residence. Finally, after 3 return trips back, I found her napping at the steering wheel of her car, where she had been waiting for me to pick her up! Memories will keep her alive because she will always live forever in our hearts! God loves Betty Thompson!
Love Always,
B,L,T Grape
