April 21, 2016 at 8:22 amBetty and Bill were wonderful neighbors in Colonial Village! We shared a lot of laughs during our years together in the neighborhood. I still have Betty’s “Elsie the cow” dessert dishes I bought at a garage sale she had – they are treasured! My sympathy to all of her family.
