Bye, Betty, and Thanks

Frank, the organist, chatted with Betty this morning
Attending the local Episcopal church for the past 12 years, I've only known a white-haired Betty Dial. Remarking about her great-granddaughter's most noticeable feature, her grandson said that Betty was also a natural redhead.

And so it is that we're always learning something new about people, though we may have known them a long time.

From 2009: Peggy, Betty, and Kay are irreplaceable
Betty was one of our most stalwart participants for Home and Hope, a local charity that shelters, feeds, and helps homeless families get back on their feet. She, along with a half-dozen senior former volunteers, have been difficult, if not impossible to replace.

She's still smart as a tack, but because of her health is moving to Oregon to be closer to her son.

Godspeed, Betty, till we meet again.
