BETTY,
THE WISHES BY ALL YOUR FRIENDS IS MIRRORED BY, ME PLEASE KEEP YOURSELF WELL THIS TIME OF SORROW AND THE PEACE LARRY IS FEELING WILL SOON RETURN TO YOU ...TOM

Well, my Larry.Your Memorial Gathering was on the 30th of January. Was an over-flow crowd of
relatives and friends. All of those truly special to us were there except for some of the relatives from Idaho and back East who simply couldn't make it, I know you understand since we'd not been able to make much of anything for the past two years ourselves.
Hope you somehow felt all the love pouring over you that day, and everyday here at home. Three more to go, dear, and then you can...

Betty,

I know it has been a long and arduous path that your family has been on since Larry became ill. How wonderful for him that he had such a loving and caring family around him during his time of crisis. You can be sure that he will be watching over you with the same love and respect that you offered him. Any time you need him, all you have to do is remember the wonderful things you did together, he will be there. My prayers are with all of you.

Dear betty and family, It's probably been about 30 years since I've seen your family. We use to live next door in Ontario and I use to babysit the kids. I am snding all my thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this time.

Betty
I'll never forget the close friendship that Larry and I had during our years at Chaffey High School, Chaffey College, and the years following. All those times of just cruisin' through Burger Lane or Henry's, a few games at one of the bowling alleys or just hangin' out together (maybe even a little homework) --- good times, never forgotten. Although we drifted apart due to job location, family, etc., I've thought of you both so many, many times and that's always a time for a smile...

Words cannot express how we feel. I was lucky to be adopted into the family over 30 years ago and became the 'older' sister. Will remember the joy and laughter that we shared around the table. Love and prayers to you and yours. Liz

Betty: Great to know you and and Larry. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Betty & family: Sorry for your loss, but good memories will always last.

We will miss you dearly, Joe. John has lost a mentor and great friend. You have always been so good to John and we have both enjoyed dinners and outings with you and Betty here in Tucson. All of your General Dynamics friends and Raytheon friends are sad to realize you have left us....I know you absolutely adore dear Betty, and we'll do what we can to watch out for her until we can all be together again. You have left behind many good memories and a legacy to your children, grandchildren,...
