Cindy, Bob and Deb,

I met your mom and dad at PMs playing BlackJack. We became fast friends, they were both the best! After your dad passed, it seems your mom, missed him so much that she didnt Seem to want to be friends anymore. She loved you all so much!!

My father, Jack, and I were sorry to hear of Betty's passing. Our condolences to your family.
I want to tell you about a "strange coincidences". Last Thursday, July 16th, I was sitting in the kitchen with my grown son and we were enjoying a delicious fresh peach. I told him that one of my fond childhood memories was when each year, my neighbor, Betty Lopeman, would buy a lug of peaches and then share them with the neighborhood kids. We would sit in your backyard eating that wonderful treat. Her spirit must have been present!
I also remember your mom singing us songs and giving back rubs when we had sleep-overs. I know you girls will miss her.
(My mother passed at home last December.)
