I have fond memories of visiting with Betty at the Thomas reunions with my husband, Franklin Hall who is her cousin. She and I had some good talks.
She also played bridge with my mother, Pauline Garzik for many years

Betty was my first cousin. My mom was Estelle Thomas Hall, uncle Guy’s baby sister. Mother loved my cousin Betty, and her siblings. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the graveside service because of a meeting at my church but please know we will be praying for all the family at this time of loss.
Blessings
