ffoday. We Miwt Say,
After the Clouds; then the sunshine; After the winter, then the spring, for life is a changeable thing. It changed for us the day after
Christmas. Betty was different, she was special and she lived her life like a candle in the wind. Her legacy was friendship, there fore, she was so giving ofher time. Beyond the gates Betty will find happiness and rest and we will take comfort in the thought that a loving God
knows best.
