Betty,

I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the whole family. I was so shocked when mom told me you called and told her the sad news. It has been so long since I have seen you all, but I think of you often (especially when you used to let us play on the bus, my fondest memories). Let us know if we can do anything. Love and prayers,
