My Aunt Betty....what will I do without you? You have been like a second mother to me and my kids. We have had so many good times...we have laughed til our stomach hurts...we have done things together that I will cherish forever...we have cried together...consoled each other...taken care of each other...lived together...loved our animals...cried over them...even rescued some! But the thing I cherished the most is you loving me no matter what!!! And of course your famous saying of "Ditto"!!
I thought I would feel peace when you finally got to be with Rick again..and I do but I also hurt so badly. It's only been a few days and I'm sure the pain will subside, eventually, but I will always miss you! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AUNT BETTY. God Bless your soul and may you rest in peace now.
