Dear Betty and siblings:
Indeed it has been many years since we knew all of you when growing up on Coker Avenue during elementary and high school years. So sorry to learn of your mother's passing, and may your wonderful memories and good friends sustain you
through these difficult days. We lost our mother December of 2010, and know for sure each of us will deal with the losses in our own way.

Sincerely

Papa and family,
You and Mama were nothing but wonderful to me the day I entered your family when I was 6 yrs old, you will forever be in my heart and I'm so grateful to have my childhood memories filled with your faces. I will always be grateful for everything you've done for us. Shane and I were blessed to have you as our "Mama and Papa".
Love,
Tara and family

Dear Betty, please know that you and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers. I have many good memories of your mom from the time when we were just young teenagers underfoot; she was such a sweet person and wonderful "mom" to all of us. You were so blessed to have her in your life for such a long time and to know that she now rests with Jesus will be a comfort to you in the coming days. Love and God Bless, Marie Wilczewski Holt

Debbie, Beth, Susan, Betty, Steven, Mr Leo, and the entire Simonin Family,
I am so sorry to read of the loss of "Ma-Ma". I have so many fantastic memories of playing in the yard and watching after school cartoons years ago. She always made me feel welcome in her home, and did not hesitate to call me down along with Debbie and Beth. (Not to mention, would call my parents as well). My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
