My deepest sympathies in the loss of Betty Lou. May you all find comfort in knowing that Betty Lou is in a much better place. I have many memories of the old farm house that you lived in behind our family (Johnson's) and the golf range picking golf balls with the tractor. Would love to catch up with Debbie & Cindy. We lost our mother in April of 2005 and dad just passed the end of July this year.
