    Dear Mark, Cathy, and family. I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Betty’s homegoing. I always loved talking with your Mom! She always had a great sense of humor and to hear her stories of the Wuerfele girls growing up was quite a “hoot.” My mom also loved talking with her sister and reliving the past with her. Praying God’s peace and strength on you all during these coming days.
