Leroy and family, I was saddened to hear of Betty´s passing. I have good memories of her going back to the days I first met you both when I was playing music for dances in the old Barboursville firehouse some 50 years ago. Whenever I ran into Betty regardless of when or where she always took the time to chat.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
