Miss Betty and Miss Capri were the best pre-school teachers. We and our children will never forget these incredible ladies!

When I was a child a visit in Indiana from Uncle Cromer and Aunt Betty was a real treat. We had so much fun and Gregg and Capri were close in age to my brother and me. I loved my aunt but I have not seen her in many years, probably since 1972. My mother passed recently so I am hoping they have be reunited in Heaven. My father, Clinton was Uncle Cromer's brother.

I met Capri in junior high, and we quickly became best friends. Her mom was one of the sweetest people ever. I'll never forget all the wonderful slumber parties at Capri's house, and how special Betty made each and every one. She truly was a great lady. Jan Rathbun Nielsen
