Our deepest sympathy.
Sharing your sorrow. As neighbors, we have fond memories of Besty and Paul for over 30 years. They were great neighbors, and we always enjoyed their stories told when we met on the "street". Both were filled with kindness and love.

Great neighbors for over 20 years. Betsy and Paul were the best. Both of opinionated minds and lots of fun.
