Dear Betty and family
It was just last night I was telling our children , grand children and
my sister Sandy, how you Mum or Dad would pick me up from school and take me to Brownies and Guides. Without their generosity I would not have been able to go. I never knew you had so many foster brothers and sisters but it doesn’t surprise me.
May the memory of beautiful your Mother and past treasured memories support you.

Betty, John and extended family :
It is with much sadness that we learn of the passing of your beloved
mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. Try to focus on all the wonderful memories that she has imparted onto your family and friends. She was certainly a courageous trooper to the end of her life and an amazing grandmother to her grandchildren.
She will never be forgotten !
