It was so much fun to visit with Betty! She loved books and was a gifted and engaging conversationalist. When I brought our dog, Mickey, along to see Betty, she loved to pet him and talk to him, signs of a true animal lover. It was a privilege to know her, and I was glad I was able to spend time with her.

Based on stories from a while ago the Schulz/Schulenburg trips were legendary and my mom and dad were fortunate to have such good friends as your parents. We certainly grieve with you but remember your mom had a great life and you have a treasure chest full of memories.
