Sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. I am really glade that I was able to visit with her a few years ago when I was in Pueblo. We had a very nice visit, since it had been several years since I visited her last. As long as there are happy memories she will never be totally gone.
my deepest sympathy to you, Debbie, Tom, Gail and all your family members.
Take care,
