Aunt Betty,I am going to miss you so deeply. You were there for me for every occasion in my life. You attended my first communion, confirmation,high school graduation, wedding,birth of my children and funerals for my parents and my brothers. If too much time passed since we'd last seen each other, you made a point of stopping in wherever I was working just to check in with me. You were so caring, and I hope you knew how much I appreciated your love and support. You always exuded the epitome of class. I always grin when remembering every time that I said something risqué, how you would sternly say "Oh, Michele", but always with that sweet smile on your face and that twinkle in your eye! My greatest blessing was to grow up in a time when large family gatherings were frequent and possible. The parties with the Street,Porter, Plantz, Haley, Plunkett, Kozma families, etc. are memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. My children and my niece Megan will always hold dear their memories of going to church and then to McDonalds on Sundays with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Jim and Aunt Betty. So, to cope with my sadness, I just need to remind myself how wonderful the party must be that's going on in heaven right now. Say hi to everyone for me. I love you Aunt Betty. Shelley
