bright eyes
beautiful smile
beach-lit hair
sun-kissed cheeks
warm heart
heavy burden
empty spot
Rest in peace Betty
you have loved and been loved
No doubt
a heavenly birthday
awaits you!

(Note: Betty first welcomed me into her home as a highschool friend of her son’s, and later became the beloved grandmother of my youngest siblings–when our mother Bonnie fell in love with her son.)
