I was very sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. She suffered a long time and will be at peace now. Whenever I think of Betty I remember how she was always smiling. I’m sorry I was unable to attend the viewing or the funeral as I was out of town at a family get together for the holiday. May she rest in peace.
Betty and Harlan were wonderful friends and tried and true card players to my parents, Wally and Loreen Heusmann. May Betry Rest In Peace.
I just learned the passing of Betty. What a wonderful lady and the Pose family has my condolences. Many years ago we were neighbors of Harlan and Betty, and my parents and Pose’s had a lot of fun together. South Locust has good memories. I am sure my Mother and Betty are sitting laughing about those times.
