Today is Dec. 14, 2013. Today I was trying to contact Benton to find out how Claude was doing and was saddened to see that he had passed away. A few years ago Benton you put me in touch with Claude. As a result He and Anne visited us in Chattanooga and we visited them in Theodore. We were last togather at Sue's 75th birthday party where C& A had us over at their home for lunch. I am saddened to hear of his passing. I consider him a good friend. Benton I would love to hear from you Arnold Betbeze [email protected] Your cousin from Mississippi

Dear Betbeze family,
I have such fond memories of times our families spent together. Ann and Claude were such good friends to Mom and Dad, and I'll bet they are all up in heaven laughing heartily about something. Best wishes and prayers are sent to all of you.
