    To Gretchen, Noah, Ben and family, I'm so sorry I can't make it today. I had planned on coming but with the snow and extremely slick roads I won't be able to.i loved your grandmother so much, we had just talked a few weeks ago. She had said the Dr. wanted her to find a single lever to move to. I'm so thankful I read it in the paper, we had not received our papers until yesterday. I was so surprised when I read her name, I'm just thankful I was able to read about before she was buried. I loved your grandmother so much, she was my first standing customer at Futuristic and I did her hair until she moved. Again I so sorry, you are in my thoughts and prayers today as you go through this pain and sorrow. Jerri

    Sorry for your loss. Betty was not only a '47 MHS classmate, but a good friend of both myself and my sister Analee Plew Robinson.
