    I’m so glad that I got to see you just before you died Auntie Betty, and am very pleased that your wish to be beside your husband Joe again is being met. I could see how important it was to you in the very many conversations we had about it over the last ten years. I hope the help I was able to give you in those years since Joe’s death made your life better than it otherwise might have been.

    Current circumstances, along with my residing in England, mean that I am unable to attend the funeral in person, but I do send my best wishes to all who will be there and to those like myself who will be there remotely via the internet.

    Rest in Peace alongside your husband Joe, the love of your life, Auntie Betty.
