Frank and family I’m sorry for your lose of your mom. Betty and I started working at RRD the same year. And Frank you were our operator. So I work with her for 30 some years. We had lots of good and bad times there but always remained good friends. Sadly after leaving RRD we lose touch but I will always have good memories of Betty. GOD bless your Family and GOD rest her soul.
