Dear Charles and Family, Who Betty Jane was to me. She was a kind,loving,caring, and compassionate lady. I looked forward to seeing her the days that I was there.I miss her saying there you are where have you been! I will miss her asking me if there is any cookies or do I have and licorice in my pocketbooK. Boy did she ever like that. There are so many things that i loved about that lady it would take too long to tell you, so I will just say there wasn't anything I didn't love about her. She was always worried about everyone else but never herself. That is just the type of person she was. When I would go there she always made me feel welcome. never harsh words were said between us. We love each other so much. I will end now by saying Betty jane I miss you very much, my days are so lonely without you. But you are in a much better place now. I will join you someday but until then You will always be in my heart. I love you so much!
