Betty & Family,
I am sorry for your loss. I always loved talking to your parents in the back yard when we lived on Knight Street and your dad he so loved his dog “Rusty” and would bring him out to play! I saw your mom last weekend or two at McDonalds with your sister but was sure she might not remember me. I was on my way back to Pennsylvania where I now live. She would always say “you’re Honey’s Mom” when I ran into her they loved Honey (Erica), great people. Much Love Betty, Lori.
Joyce and family so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was a sweet woman who always went out of her way to make you feel loved. I am sure she is happy to be with her husband, as they were always together. Love Jeannie Waimon
Margo and family, my sister called to tell me of your Mom’s passing. I will keep all of you in my prayers. I have very fond memories of her. God Bless, Sharon
