My Dear Aunt Betty was perhaps the most Godly woman I have known. She helped us out when times were tough and often helped us make ends meet by mending my childrens clothes etc. I know she will be missed even though we are relieved her suffering is no longer. I will always remember her calm and nonjudgmental approach and how she reached out and touched the world in her own quiet way, she lives on in each one of us.....see you again...............Annette
