Such a beautiful lady who befriended me when I moved in beside her many years ago. She welcomed me and was always there when I needed a friend. I will never forget her. Her kindness, her beauty, her smile, her generosity and her strength and so much more. RIP Pete❤❤

Betsy, Heath and Becky, it is always so tuff to lose a parent. Whenever I think of your Mom I think of a time when she was in WA and made a group of us her fried spaghetti. I had never heard of fried spaghetti and it was so good. Thinking of all of you.
