Bill, Charlie, Joe, Bobby & Jean,
I’m so sorry about Aunt Betty’s passing. She was such a strong and brave woman. Her, my mom and Claire gave us so many good memories growing up that we will always cherish. My mom talked about her everyday….how sad that they both went just seven months apart. They are all with Ma now and the rest of our family. I wish we could be there with you on Friday.
Hugs and kisses to everyone. You all will be in our thoughts.
Joanie
To the family and friends of Aunt Betty,, I am sorry for your loss. I was Claire’s daughter in law from the marriage to Tommy. I don’t have to many clear memories of Aunt Betty except for a few from when she lived in Ohio. My prayers go out to Betty’s family at this time of loss
