While growing up, my parents played cards, once a month, with the Billets and others. I was fairly young then, but my memories of John and Betty were that they were a fun couple, and dedicated to each other. I found John to have a great sense of humor as well.
I'm glad they're together again.

I'm sorry for your loss. John and I had great chats when I would join my mom for dinner at Forest Glen. He was a kind man and I hope the memories you have of time spent together help you through this difficult time.

So often I saw them walking, hand in hand & we'd stop & chat. Now they are together again, but this time, walking on the streets of gold. My life is richer for having known John &
Betty. Always remember the good times.
Sincerely,
Marcia Monteith Frier
