Erich, I will be out of town during this very sad weekend regarding your Mother's funeral. Erich...just knowing you tells me a lot about who your Mom was. I have heard you speak well of her. May you feel God's peace in your heart this weekend as you go through a very tough passage of life. I will be praying for you,Mindy, and your family. Know that you are loved and cared about. May you be able to celebrate all the good things she offered to you and your family. Psalms 23 may be of some comfort to your soul.
Love and Prayers,
Bobbi Redelman

I've talked to a lot of people about Bette the last couple of days. The nicest thing I was told was that Bette always made her feel like she was special when she helped her at Courts Plus. Bette made everyone feel as if they were special. In reality Bette was the special one. We were all so blessed to have her in our lives. My condolences to your family at this trying time.
