Dear Terry and family-

I was so sad when I received the notice earlier today of Aunt Betty's death. My sisters and I loved spending time with both her and Tony. I will miss our correspondence and our visits. It was great to hear some of the Grant family history from her point-of-view. She sure was one classy, spunky lady! I trust she is now happily reunited with Tony.

To Terry and family, I was saddened to learn of Betty's passing. Betty was a lovely lady. I met Betty 40 yrs ago and always will remember how nice she was to me. She and my mother worked together for many years and stayed friends long after retiring.

May she rest in peace.
