We first met Betty when Dennis bowled with Bill Unmisig. Then she, Bill & the family spent a lot of time fishing on our lake. She was always fun to be around and we enjoyed visiting with her.
We are so sorry for your loss. She will be missed. You are all in our thoughts & prayers. I(Ruth) remember our MANY trips to Kansas City to ceramic shows. We always had a good time.
