I knew both Betty and Dave through the Lucknow Legion Seniors dining program and always enjoyed talking to them for a few minutes each month. Then knew Betty a bit more after Dave passed away. My thoughts are with the family during this trying time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you….Casey & Cathy
