To the dear family of Betty Hull. I remember when I got to know your mother at the time of your father's passing. She was a vibrant, intelligent, fiesty and wonderful woman. May the Bulldogs ever reign and may your Mother and Father now join hearts once again. In His Peace,

This is Donna Garrett. I visited Betty, played for her --then moved to FL and wrote her. She was very dear -- and if it had not been for her and her husband I never would have found a job!! Boy, did they go out on a limb for me!

Dearest Kathy, Philip and David
It has been a long walk thru the valley and your mom is now resting from that long walk. I am praying you also can find the Peace that Passes all Understanding surrounding you in the days, weeks and years to come.
All my love Anne Christensen
