Personal note from Betty's children and their spouses (she called her 7)

Our beloved mother, Betty, was gathered to the saints who have gone before us Wednesday morning June 8th in the wee hours. Thanks to each of you who are supporting our family with your prayers.

Please feel free to post photos and memories of Betty.
