Being part of extended family, and not knowing many of the relatives, I was blessed with having Betty as an email friend for many years. She definitely was blessed with a wonderful, large, family thoughts and prayers going to the whole family love, Shirley Larson, a Portland, Oregon wife of deceased, RT Larson.

Many have appreciated over and over again what you have done. This is a deserving life that you have used wisely in helping others and guiding the family that you and Jim started, along with the following generations, you will be sadly missed by all of them, and by Janet and me
Remember us when you and Jim are again together.
We will never forget you.
