Mrs Hart was our Gregarious neighbor for twenty years. She was always very kind. Mrs Ellenor Emmery was one of her best friends and she past away last June and I know how doleful Betty Hart was that one of her very dear friends had departed fortuitously. /both of these women were admired by many. Mrs Ellenor Emery was our neighbor also..We will miss our congenial neighbor..But Betty believed that she would live in Heaven....and have a ever lasting life.
