Wayne,
Sorry to hear of your loss. She is with our Lord now.
Your old Sunday school friend, Bill
We're sorry to hear of Betty's passing. We have many fond memories of visiting their farm outside Rochester. Of course, my parents (Bernard and Dorothy), always kept in contact with them. They would often visit our family farm in Pingree. Great memories. A life well lived.
Dennis & Betty Steele
