Elizabeth Jensen Obituary

Although unfortunately I haven't seen her in a number of years, "Aunt Bet" will always be remembered as the sweetest and most caring person I've ever known. She would always welcome you with her smile and made sure you had some goodies during your visit. Hopefully she is sitting at a kitchen table, enjoying a cup of coffee with her sister and reminiscing about their lives.
Love Steve
