Please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of your mother. She was a dear neighbor and church friend, (to my mother) for many years. While I would only see her briefly at church when I visited my mom; I could tell she was a special person to many. May she Rest In Peace.

My Husband Dave grew up next door to Betty. She was a good friend with Dave's Mom Marilyn. Dave always says him and Betty would stand out back and eat the green beans fresh from the garden. Our Prayers and thoughts are with you All.
