Today we honored and remembered our Betty D who was laid to rest. All of her children shared sweet thoughts and impressions of their mother during her service and while I zoomed and prepared for their family meal I listened and reminisced. I have so many memories of her from having us sit on balloons and getting them to pop during Primary singing time to floating the Gulkana and washing Grace Anderson’s hair in the river. She spilled milk on President Metcalf’s shoe a few years ago – she was so flustered and embarrassed. All I had to do was say “hey Betty, remember when you spilled milk . . .” and she was shushing me up. I love you my friend Betty D.
