Great Aunt Betty

Scott I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. I lost my Mom in 2012 and you should always have wonderful lasting memories of her. She will watch over you and be by your side. She was my Great Aunt Betty - what a wonderful name. I remember her wide smile and she was always a sharp dresser. She was blessed with a long wonderful life. I am sorry that I will not be able to make the funeral as I am traveling on business. If you ever feel like chatting, feel free to contact me at danzcpa@comcast.net.

With Love,

Dan Ziegler (Dan and Betty's Son)
