Thoughts and prayers go out to the Borgrud family. I didn't know Betty but was associated with her husband Denver. We worked at the Post office together, he as a parcel post carrier and I as a clerk. I ran across Denver's grave last year at the Town of Blooming Grove Cemetery since my mother is buried two rows over. Kmow ecactly where Betty's final resting place will be. R.I.P. young lady.
