I was saddened to hear of Betty Cheryl's passing and regret I wasn't able to pay my respects in person. I was so happy that you were both able to attend my family's get together the last time I was up in the Scranton area. My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this difficult time.

I remember Betty Cheryl from our days as young girls at the Blakely PM Church. She was always a lovely person. My sympathy goes to the family.
