"Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We loved Aunt Betty so much, and will truly miss her. We have such great memories-Andy and Cheryl-remember the road trip from Monroe to Mountain View in the station wagon-all three of us in the back seat-and the camping and the bears and coolers. Uncle George, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We have alot of good, funny memories dont we. Too many to mention here, but we know them. Wish we could be there - we are in spirit.Love,Kay and Kathryn"
