Dear Family of Betty,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I had the privilage of meeting Betty in October of 2009 at Chestnut Fields. She would come in every Tuesday to get her hair done. She filled my work days with many stories of her younger years and how she was double promoted during her school years. She would talk about and tell me how very proud she was of how successfull her children are. She would sing to me songs in her, I believe Dutch?, heritage language. Even though we had a 47 year age difference we found we had many things in common, one being the fact our fathers both worked in the concrete/cement business. It was my privilage to have known Betty and she will always remain in my memory.
Sincerely,
Lisa Hobby##imported-begin##Lisa Hobby##imported-end##
