Sincere sympathy to Betty’s family; what a beautiful lady she was. Always a “sharp” dresser and so artistically talented. She generously shared that gift in many ways along with her ready smile. Repeated sympathy.

Today I have been thinking of Betty, our Cylinder Homecoming Queen of 1963, my classmate, and so many memories singing together in groups, later choirs at church, assisting Betty in her wonderful artistic abilities at St John’s Bible School days, creating paintings, sewing projects, Cylinder Centennial projects, class reunion parties, and getting together for coffees, picnics, shopping, family times, and many more fun times!
My thoughts and prayers are with Scott and Heidi and the DePue...

My deepest sympathy to both Scott & Heidi. I used to babysit with you both on the farm. Your Mom was such a beautiful person inside and out. Treasure all your great memories to see you through these difficult times.
