Jerry,
Words can not express the sadness I feel about Betty's passing. I know when I lost my mother it was helpful in the weeks and months that followed to look back and read some quotes that were sent with condolences.

I like this one: Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal! From a headstone in Ireland

May you and your family treasure the memories!

Love & Prayers,
Paul & Renee Krapp
