Matt and I are so sorry to hear of the passing of Aunt Betty. Mom loved being related to her! I remember our family get togethers at the King Street house, and then more recently the holiday parties she, Uncle Bill, and all the cousins would attend in Barto. She was a loving lady with an incredible smile! She will be missed, but happy to know she is no longer suffering. We will be at the services in our thoughts.
Love,
Carol Duffy and Matt Corrow
