Lisa and Dennis,
My sincere sympathy to you in the loss of your wonderful mother. There is no better friend than one who is there when the good times aren't. Betty was that kind of a friend. She loved you both so much and was so proud of her grandchildren. She was a special person and my life is richer for having known her.
