Dear Cathy, Kenny and Donna,

EVERY SUMMER while at my mothers cabin in Montana I would walk down to Aunt Betty's. While visiting she would show me pictures of the grandchildren and then show me the improvements she had made on her two Cabins. Then ask me to come outside while she watered her wild flowers. She had the most beautiful wild flower garden up there. Beside Aunt Jane of course! Betty's was just prolific!
Mary tried to do as well with her garden of flowers but the watering and dedication it took was, well, a bit taxing. Betty would tell Kev and I stories of her and her three sisters childhood. Some a bit frightening I must admit...as they all "kept their eyes peeled out for sister Mary". ;>) Suzie and I went together a time or two.

Betty we will remember you as a lean, sweetly mean, talking machine. Tell you like it was she did as she loved us tons!
She would say, "Getting older is so hard for those of us that like to keep moving"! This I am starting to appreciate.

She kept her little Cabins so nice and clean. She was always so proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren!

I have greatly missed my visits with her and Aunt Jane. Never an unkind word did she have for anyone. She might be telling it like it was but then she would just say, "well you know". And then just give you that little tight mouth smile. :>)
Good to the bone Betty is. And ONE HARD WORKER!

We love you Donna, Kenny and Cathy.
You let us know if you NEED ANYTHING AT ALL.

MUCH LOVE,
Teena & Kevin Bridges and Families

I always enjoyed visiting with Betty. She had a great sense of humor and spunk! Always greeted me with a smile and was sincere about asking how I was. Best wishes to her family.

Always so soft and sweet you were, Aunt Betty! We will miss your gentle touch and your happy laugh. You always had a smile on your face. You have a wonderful family and I know they will miss you as we will. You are now with your husband, mother, father, sisters and Linda. Rest in peace! Watch over that sweet new great grand baby!
