    Dear Wally, Betsy and families,

    Ecclesiastes 7:1 is so true in your Mom’s case. She had her quirks, so don’t we all, but what a fine record she made with Jehovah…A faithful wife to your father for over 50 years, Jehovah’s faithful servant for 39 years, and the mother of two great kids! Jehovah has to be pleased! Our love to all of you!

    Bob & Lynn

    Dear Cousins Wally & Betsy,
    My heart goes out to you two.
    Having lost my mom in 93, keep some items of hers to pass down to the grandkids.
    Now they are all gone, Wes-Dorthy-Lois-Wilm & Betty.
    Her good cooking, good nature and her laugh I will never forget.

    Love Ron

    So sorry to hear about your loss. My mom was just talking about her last night at the meeting. Unfortunately, I didn’t learn of her death until this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
