From a very, very old neighbor from Prospect Ave in Sheboygan Falls. How I remember Betty and how pretty she was. Laying on the hammock with in her back yard on a hot summer day. If I remember right she had a black and white little bull dog....that scared me. She was so kind. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. May she rest in peace.
