Donald, Douglas & Darrell & families~
Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you during this time and in the days ahead. Every memory I have of Betty, since my childhood, includes her beautiful smile and warm laughter. Although we all miss her, we do have the hope of seeing her once again someday where there is no more sickness or sadness. May God comfort, strengthen and guide you.
