We are so sorry for your loss. We lived across from the Bears for 10 years and Mrs. Bear always
had a smile and a wave for us.
She made good apple pie.

Robert and Family,
I am so sorry to hear
of Betty's passing. She and my Mother were best friends from 1st grade until my Mother passed. I often talked with her
on the phone and she was such a pleasant, hard working lady. I hope that your memories of Betty Jane will help you through
this difficult time. I'm sure that Betty and my Mother are together in heaven once more!
