All,
So sorry to hear about my Aunt Betty. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Aunt Betty and Uncle Dean stopped to visit with us over dinner back in the early 90s. I had told Mike (husband) about them and how special I thought they were. After spending time with them, he understood what I was talking about. Many thoughts and prayers go out to you as you deal with the loss of Aunt Betty. Truly a special person.
