Dear Sally and Dave,

Betty and Fritz were two of the first people we met when we moved to Forsyth in 1978. What amazing people! One Sunday morning my neck scarf bow was very floppy. Betty showed me how to tie it (always put the left side on top) and I've not had a floppy bow since that day. Two very special people are together again! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Betty and Fritz as well as all the Blickensderfers were and are special cousins. Only good thoughts come to mind when I think of them. Most sencerely.
