We were Betty and Jake's neighbors in the 1960's. Betty was so sweet and such a hard worker. I remember her walking to the store and other places, partly to do an errand and partly for regular exercise. I loved visiting with her over the clothesline or in her home. She definitely left a sweet memory with me all these years later.

Betty is dancing without any pain, eating her pumpkin pie, apple pie and enjoying staring in the eyes of our Lord Jesus Christ. Prayers go out to the family at this time. Love Dianne
