We send our condolences to the family of your 'Aunt Betty' in your loving care of her over these last few years. We can offer many wonderful memories of Betty. She and my mother had a special relationship, spent many visits at my parents home in my growing up years, as well as our home when mom and dad were alive. We will always remember her. Sincerely,
