Betty and Marvin were our wonderful neighbors for ten years. Could not of asked for better. We all took a tour of Alaska in 2000. Will always remember Betty's laugh and those chicken and noodles. Hate to say goodbye. A genuinely nice person.

LeRoy & I will always have fond memories of the good times we had with Betty & Marvin at Lake Dabinawa. The "Sexy Frogs" Betty & I had on our cruise will always make us laugh. Am sure that Marvin was waiting on Betty & greeted her with open arms.
