Our deep sympathy goes out to Ray and family for the loss of Bette. I know she will be truly missed. We were neighbors of Ray and Bette when they lived on Sand Hill Road in Springfield, IL. Although we did not get together often, it was always a pleasure to visit with them. Bette was a delightful person. May God be with all of you as days go by and you have your wonderful memories. Chuck and Barb Wheeler

Jodi and George I am so sorry for your loss. You are both such special friends and neighbors and were so good to your mom with your visits and weekly Saturday outtings. I didn't know your mom, but believe she had to be a pretty special person to raise such a devoted and wonderful daughter.
