Dear Bob —
I was saddened to read Betty’s obituary in today’s Times-News. An old Jewish proverb has been of comfort to me in times like these.
‘TO LIVE IN THE HEARTS WE LEAVE BEHIND, IS NOT TO DIE.’
Betty is sure to live in your heart forever as well as in the hearts of your children, other family members and friends.
I. too, cared for Betty. She was my first baby sitter– many years ago. I’m also glad we were able to have lunch together several months ago at your home.
God Bless and keep you Bob — I’ll be to see you in a few days.
Your pal always and forever,
Dave

Dear Bob, Jeff and Gail,
I was so shocked to read about Betty. I did not know she was sick. I would have visited her had I had any idea she was sick.
I have many pleasant memories of all of you. I want you all to know you are in my prayers. May the God of all comfort grant you peace knowing that Betty is with the Lord. God Bless you all.
