I'm going to miss Betty! She was such a good friend from Grade School and on through the years. Her quilting was beautifully done. She made her own clothes when we were in school. We had great unexpected visits when we would happen to meet at a store, the doctor's office, other events. Or we would call each other just to "catch up." Betty was a very fine woman with great wisdom about people and good common sense. She kept up accounting and medical needs of her Mother while Elsie was in the Nursing Home. Yes, she lived her Christian Witness. What a blessing Betty was to all who knew her. Sure will miss you my friend, Elizabeth (Weeks) Woods
