Bob and Family,
Katrina and I have appreciated our time with both of you over the years. I enjoyed my conversations with Betty- she had such a quick wit and sense of humor, not to mention always having an opinion that typically cracked me up. I know my critters will miss all the love and attention they have gotten over the years from Betty- it was like going to grandma's house to get your favorite treat. Thinking of you all this week-
