Betty, the world is a better place because you spread your seeds of love.
Thank you for the years you and Wayne invested in me, I am the woman I am partly due to the time and love you both invested in me growing up. Sure I was Diane's bestie growing up, but you treated me as one of your own. A girl growing up without a father and an unstable homelife can become lost. The love and safety of your home provide the stability I need to flourish. For that I will forever be greatful!
You will be missed.
Love, Arlene
