RIP sweet lady
Betsy was a joy… she lived near us in Rhodhiss as a little girl she loved to move around the neighbor and visit one time she played mail man and went and giving out her family’s mail and people was confused as to where it came from. Betsy loved animals …. Mrs Ross would see and make cute clothes for her.
I think she had a great family.
That’s a beautiful memory of mom. Thank you for sharing. -Katie
