My stepmother Betty was a loving and generous and giving person. I remember when I first met her as a little boy, we would go on Sunday rides with my father and she would rub my head and be so loving and gentle and caring to me. I love her very much. I have a picture of her and I at the Colonial Restaurant on Court Street, we ate outside. We prayed together and she was a strong blessing to my Ministry. I visited her many times at the nursing home. God bless you my second mother, rest in peace.
Love, Douglas
