Great picture of Aunt Betty. I remember when I was a teen and came up with the idea of being a nurse for Halloween. Aunt Betty came to Gra's house with her nurse uniform, I had a wig (probably Gra's) and put on Gra's make-up. After I was "made up" and presented myself, Aunt Betty, Gra and I laughed so hard it was a riot. Enjoy your memories of her.
