Send Your Condolences

Pete and family, you have our sincerest condolences over the loss of your mother. Betty was a total charmer as I recall the many visits we shared over the last ten years. I will forever remember her as as lover of life, a spirited soul who had nothing but kind and encouraging words for those she valued. We keep you in our prayers as we continue to cherish the moments we shared in her lifetime. How lucky you were to have shared her years. Warmest regards always.
