Dear Al,
My husband and I graduated with Betty from Elk Lake School. We just heard of her accident and death and wanted to let you know that you are in our prayers. We are having a class reunion this year and we will light a candle and offer a prayer in her honor. From reading the entries in the gues book, it sounds as if you two had a very good relationship. We are very happy about that. Betty and I always had a ton of fun in high school! You are in our prayers. Joyce and Paul Jennings

Grandpa,
I remember coming up to your house and Grandma Betty always having a drawer full of toys to play with. I remember her letting Jenn and I dress up in her dresses and high heel shoes.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dad,
We are so sorry for your loss. You and Betty had a very special relationship - how lucky for you to have had that kind of friendship and bond. It's rare to see that kind of love expressed between two people, especially after 29 years of marriage. May those precious memories live on in your heart.
Debbie, Gary, Jeremy & Josh
