So sorry to hear sweet Aunt Betty passed. It wasn ‘t that long ago she called me for a little chat. She sounded to clear minded and chipper! When I worked in Florida I would make a point to stop by and see her. I so enjoyed those visits. I will be praying for your empty hearts and changed lives without her. She was a very special little lady. I am so thankful she is in heaven now.
