Re: A note from Betty's Daughter, --> ALL

[Guest guest]

Hi Again...

I just wanted to pop in real quick 'n let ALL y'all know that I/we

really appreciate all the kind words, thoughts and prayers for us

during these hard times. I'm trying to go through my Mom's and my

email accounts to send out personal " Thanks " to all who have sent

their condolences... It's been a bit overwhelming dealing with

everything, and I apologize for the slow response(s) to your messages.

Thanks again, y'all!

Sincerely,

~ Y Selk (daughter of Betty J Crow)
