David and family, my deepest condolences go out to you. I never had the pleasure of meeting her but we spoke on the phone a few times. My mother was a tenant of hers for over 20 years( Betty F.) May God be with you during your time of need.

Dear Backus Family:
My sympathies on your loss. She was a sweet woman who was my mother's (Betty Francis) landlord for over 20 years. My mother also sends her sympathies. Peace be with you.
