I had many great times with my sister – trips we took, holidays with her family, jewelry classes, etc. Betty had a quick wit with a great sense of humor. Unfortunately, for the past twenty plus years I seldom got to see her and I missed her a lot. At least, I have wonderful memories of her, the great times we had together, the dumb things we got ourselves into and somehow it was always a lot of fun.
