I miss you so much and will love all the way to the mom amd back no matter how much you got angry with me. Your granddaughter Sara Fredrickson.

Betty was my friend. I actually went to Spring Brook on Dec 4th. I bought the Nelson house a cross the street on 5th street when my son was 4. He is now 31. She didnt like me and she told me so. I was a single mother. One snowy day we were both out shoveling and started to talk. From then on we were friends. I went on to have twin girls who were in band and choir. During Christmas time both sold poinsettias. I always bought from both. This started a tradition of me giving her a poinsettia every year at Chtistmas. She loved them. She would sit and look at that plant and say "ain't that a beaut?"
I cherished our visits. She would tell stories of the summer trips and building the house and places she worked. She loved nice fuzzy warm socks, chocolate and a good book or puzzle. Dec 4th this year I went to Bauer's and picked out a beaut of a poinsettia. I stopped at home and got her card and chocolates. The woman came to the door and I asked her of she could deliver them to Betty? She looked at me and I knew. I left and came back and asked her if she could give the poinsettia to someone who would enjoy it and I left. I miss her and have thought of her often since Dec. 4th. She was a very special lady and I was proud to call her my friend.
