I am so sorry for your loss. Betty & I had connected after many years of not being connected but I feel so bad we never got past being connected on FB. I grew up in the house next to Aunt Rosamund. Betty & I spent a good amount of time together even though I was the younger sister of my sister, Marlene, who was in the same grade as Betty. I will always hold close the many memories I have of us being together! God Bless all of you!
