sending Prayers for your family.Was so sorry to read about your mom.thinking of you,
The Parinella name in the Obit column seemed distantly familiar while my eye was drawn instead to Betty’s picture. Hadn’t seen her since h.s. Lovely to look again on Betty’s serene and beautiful face. God bless and keep you dear friend.
Just got a Christmas card today and found out from Jane H about dear cousin Betty’s death. Sorry I did not know before, but I would still like to express, along with my husband John, deepest condolences to the family. I always remember how Betty (and Terry) helped us to sell my parent’s home and will always appreciate that. She was a beautiful and fun loving person. I know you will be thinking of her a lot during the holidays, with lots of love and good memories.
