Dear Ed & Emily,
I am so sorry for your loss. Betty was such a wonderful woman, always so kind to me, and to my parents, Joe and Jean. She always made me feel welcome in your home when Emily and I were friends as we were growing up. I will always remember her delicious chocolate chip cookies! May she rest in peace. With deepest sympathy – Karen Serletti Bauer
