Betty was my best friend, confidante and next door neighbor when we lived in Pewee Valley. Moving away from there and settling in Colorado was so difficult because I knew I'd never have such a relationship again.
My favorite memories of the Fronings was going to each other's houses on Christmas Eve after all our kids were asleep and putting together all the Christmas toys that Santa would bring the next morning.
I have so many more memories of our times together that I hold in my heart!
Dear Betty, You are missed!
