So very sorry to hear about the loss of Betty and so soon after losing Jim as well. I have so many, many fond memories of the wonderful Vadeboncouer family and am just heartbroken that I did not hear sooner and missed the services. God Bless and keep you all - you are all very special to me and will be in my thoughts and prayers.
