I will always remember my aunt Betty for her great cooking and her laugh. Her Thanksgiving meals including desserts were always fun and you were stuffed for hours after dinner. Unfortunately I can not make the funeral due to a prior plans to be out of town. I’m praying for the family as they morne Betty. Bob Buys
