Philip and Teresa: Your mother was an extremely gifted lady. We loved, Mrs. Betty and will always cherish the friendship we shared through the years. We loved hearing her play; she taught our daughter piano and some of our most treasured paintings are watercolors done by her. You both are in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. May God sustain you and give you peace that only He can provide.
