Betty was such a caring and loving great-aunt! I am very lucky to have known her so well and to have had her in my life. Betty was a gifted musician and loved playing music for others. We have been pen pals for 28 years. I will miss writing letters to her and receiving her letters. I'll never forget the time when, homesick in my new home in Austin, TX and missing Iowa's fall leaves, she sent me a 9 x 11 envelope full of orange, red, and yellow leaves. We love you, Betty.
