Time goes by in a blink. Within the past 3 years I have often reflected upon our many conversations regarding life and the experiences it has to offer. You were right, success has no finish line. There is always more that a person can do to make things better for others.

Thank you Aunt Betty for your invaluable knowledge, advice and support through the good and bad times.

Betty was a brilliant artist, visionary and friend to everyone she met.
