Betty's Funeral












We went to a funeral for Betty’s, our neighbor who was only 59-years old.

It was so sad.

We learned that she and Roy had married when they were 19 and 21-years old. Their life reminded me so much of ours as we were married at 19 and 20. Roy mentioned that he was going to have to learn to cook and pay the bills.

Michael has written fewer than a dozen checks in 37 years. It was a wake-up call for me. I need to have him to start to do the bookkeeping with me. He doesn’t even know where all the different accounts are located.

It is a testament to a good person and a good life when I looked around the church at one point and it was full. She was a well-loved, fun, family driven woman who will be greatly missed by so many people.
