To: Rock & boys, Cheryl & girls, and Marshall & Mitchell, as well as the rest of the Carpenter family, I wish to express my sympathy in Betty’s passing. I know she will be greatly missed. She was a strong, determined woman, who would drive you nuts at times, but she also was very funny & fun loving. And she cared for everyone, just in her own way.
Please take care and know she left us all at the beach – one of the places she loved going to.
Sincerely,
Terri Sheaffer
