Kathy I’m sorry about the loss of your Mom. What a beautiful woman she was. I’m sure you have many happy memories
Betty was a good friend and neighbor to us for a long time. She always had a smile on her face and was such a nice person. We had coffee together many times. Her son, Gregg and our daughter Kris were the same age. I know that she will be deeply missed.
Wonderful lady and family...she made everyone she touched a better person.
Neither age nor circumstance can lessen the pain of losing your parent- may your memories of time with your Mom bring you comfort and peace.
