Sincere sympathy in the loss of Betty. She was a classmate of my Mother, Doris Rote, who passed this time last and were both at MTHS and LGH. She spoke of her often,

I am a Stauffers of Kissel Hill employee & Betty & I have seen many years together. She made alot of friends here & we knew her by name & appreciated her kindness, great smile & humor. Personally, she always made me feel very special when I worked at the customer service desk each & every time she came to shop, & she always gave me the biggest hug when I wouldn’t see her for awhile when I made a move to the Central Office ( against her wishes of course ) : ) She was special & treated people like they were special. I will miss her & may God give you peace. Please remember…..Those who know the Lord will NEVER say good-bye for the last time……..
With sympathy, Renee Horn @ Stauffers of Kissel Hill
