Betty and family,
My condolences. I had the privilege of meeting your mother once, and the way Betty talked about her, she was a grand lady. I believe you will meet your mother again, in what form, I do not know. Love does not die, Love lasts forever. God Bless you all and give you comfort and strength each and every day.
Always a friend,
