Dear Laurie, Michael, Susan, Gerry, and Robbie, We want to tell you how saddened we were to hear of your mothers passing. She and I talked to each other most every day. Sometimes just revisiting our childhoods. I will miss our good morning chats very much. I loved her very much, there is nothing like a sister bond. Love to all of you. If I can be of any help, just call.

I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Gertie will always be one of my greatest characters of my childhood. My last visit with her was the first after many years and she greeted me with open arms. She was so excited and had much to tell me. It was a great visit and a good memory to remember.

Susan, Laurie, Michael, Gerald and Robert, was so sorry to read of your mothers passing. We only have one set of parents and this is a sad time for all of you. I'm praying that all of you are given strength and peace of mind through this. Pull up your memories and find solace in some of them. As I set here this morning I remember many times as children that we were together with fun and laughter. Hope you can also, love to all of you. Your cousin, Betty
