This precious one was the only one besides myself who reported to the Leicester post office during the “great blizzard” because we were told we had to. We became stranded and the rescue squad people took us to her home until my husband could come for me. So gracious and kind! She will certainly have a great reward
Dear family,
Our deepest sympathy to all of you in your loss. We read about Betty in the paper today. It is always so hard to give up a parent. Cherish your memories. Again our condolences.
