So sorry for your loss. Betty and I were friends and neighbors when we were young kids. We spent a lot of time together and at each others homes. I really like the picture you have put up of her. She is as pretty older as she was when she was young.

Linda & Family,

I was sorry to hear of Betty's passing. Although I didn't know Betty all that well, I always liked her.

I was just at Eddie's grave yesterday, didn't realize he was in Beech Grove till I happened upon it while looking for another grave. I still miss Eddie, he was a good friend to me.

I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. Much Love & Many Blessings to all of you.
