Thinking of family during this time. Betty will keep the angels in line ❤️
I’m so very sorry for your loss. She was truly a very kind and sweet woman. I only knew her for a few years but she was always happy thoughtful and kind to me. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family I know you all meant so very much to her.
I've missed my old friend for years. RIP Betty. Love you.
Chuck and Eric, So sorry for the loss of Betty. I have fond memories of both your parents. They were great people and true American Patriots! God bless them. We all grew up in a great time in America and in a very nice neighborhood. We should try to get a Hidden Valley 'Kids' reunion together sometime, that could be a lot of fun.
