Tom so sorry about your Mom great lady God Bless
Betty was a lovely, warm lady. I worked at West View Healthy Living. She always had a kind word to share and looked her best everyday when I knew her living on Town Square. My condolences to the family. Betty was a gem!
I have fond memories of Grandma Emler. I always looked forward to overnight visits with Grandma and Grandpa – her efforts in creating a warm, welcoming home are to be admired. Rest in Peace Grandma – Love Carrie
Tom,
I just heard about your step-mom’s passing. I know she was ready to be done living here on earth. Now she gets to live in heaven, and I am thankful she is not hurting any more. She was an absolutely beautiful lady, and I enjoyed getting to know her (and play cards with her) while she was living at West View Healthy Living. My sympathies to you and your family during this time of loss.
So sorry for your loss. Betty will be missed she was so kind and sweet I loved to talk to her. We talked grandkids and family. She will be sadly missed .
