Todd & Susan, our family is so grateful to have shared in this season of life with Mrs. Betty. To watch you both lead a Masterclass in caring for a loved one has been a great lesson in our lives. The children, Charlie and CiCi, have been witness to such tender and constant consideration of Mrs. Betty´s every need. They have learned through observation what it means to serve others before self. Your friendship and the love given so generously to our family is a treasured gift, thank you for allowing our daughter to have a final afternoon with Mrs. Betty. She will never forget it, that core memory will remain. Thanks to you both, for sharing so many wonderful memories and experiences with our family.
