  2. Betty and her husband, Don, were lifelong friends to my Mom and Dad. I have so many wonderful memories of this beautiful couple visiting us — it was always such a privilege and a treat to spend time in their company. Betty and Don were two of the most warm, kind, and gracious people I have ever known and were, indeed, the epitome of the “Greatest Generation.” How they are missed! May God bless them forever.
