To the Peeler Family –
Although a year has passed, I
wanted you to know what a wonderful person and kind friend Betty was. She was one of the brightest lights to shine at Trinity – and the entire faith family is saddened and diminished by her
passing. As we bury our father/husband, we take comfort in our belief that he
will be met at the gate by Betty , with her beautiful
smile and eternal spirit.
