Cindy I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost your sweet mother. I remember her fondly from our days at Gloucester Point Baptist Church GA's, etc. She was beautiful inside and out. How wonderful though to know that she and your Dad are together now. She'll live forever in your heart for the rest of your days.

I am sorry to hear of Bettys passing. My uncle was captain
of the Cinmar when the discovery was made. He always
spoke so highly of Betty & Liston. He had lots of good
memoires working with them. My thoughts & prayers are
with you.
