To: Bill Landis and family: My thoughts go out to you at this time. Betty (and Homer) were dear friends to my folks (Dave and Louise Roberts). Their friendship goes way back before we kids were even born. I remember getting my hair done at Betty''''''''s house. She had the warmest smile and a contagious laugh. I always thought she was so beautiful in her appearance and in her concern and care towards others. She had a great sense of humor. She was just a class act!!

If I were not going to be out of town I surely would have been to her service to offer my support and to celebrate a very wonderful lady.

I know this can be a difficult process to grow through losing a parent or grandparent but you have such a wonderful legacy left of a very special lady. Old age, disease or death can never rob you of that!

Warmest regards, Beverly (Roberts) Bell.
