    Linda, Jill, Dirk, Ainsley, Avery, Lo and the rest of all family and friends. I'm so sorry to hear of Betty's passing. She was a wonderful woman full of life. May she be an example to all of us as we journey through our remaining years. I know there are no words that can ease your pain and sorrow. I envision her joining all her that have proceeded her in heaven. I imagine it's a great, great time with lots of fun and laughter. You've all gained a beautiful guardian angel. I know the next time I see a cardinal I will be thinking of her. May your fond memories carry you through these most difficult of days. Love to all of you- God bless. 🙏🏼 Yvonne & Brian
