Please accept my deepest sympathy. My mother, Blanche, was Betty's cousin. She is the sister of Betty Zimmerman and Sue Briggs of Cincinnati. Over the years I've heard so many stories of the good times they had as children. I'm so sorry I have never had the opportunity to meet any of you.



I'm so sorry for your loss.
