Dear Webster Family,

It was with sadness that I read that Betty had died and just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. God has a way of working in our lives and having all of you here is just one of them. I didn't get Jim's notice in time to send a snail mail note, but will see you Friday at St. Paul. Blessings, Joyce
