We are so sorry for the loss of Betty. She was one great neighbor and we loved her dearly. She will be missed by us both. We had so many good times together. Many times she would come over and we would drink coffee and such together. We shared some fond memories together then. I remember the help she gave me when it came time to decorate our Chrismas tree. And other times just chatting with her across the fence. She was one great lady. We are so thankful that she is now in a better place and can walk “the streets of gold” with her own mom.
