Betty & Joe we're life long friends. We cruised together many times and I (Betty Lynn Holmes Hudson) worked for her father/Sheriff Wages in the Winona Court House in 1966. Also, my mother lived down the street from Betty's family.
Betty will be missed.

Mrs. Upton was a sweet lady. I enjoyed working with her at Nettleton School. May God be with you always.
