“To my dear Aunt Betty and family. Sending all my love, condolences and prayers to each and every one of you! Words cannot describe how sorry I am to not be there with all of you at this time but I am most certainly there in spirit. It is never easy to say goodbye however, it sets my mind at ease knowing that Aunt Betty is now in glory with my grammy, Aunt Lily and uncle Fred who I know she was so eager to be reunited with! I love you Aunt Betty!! Please tell both my grammy and my father David Sr. how much I love and miss the both of them and that I look forward to our next meeting on high! – David S. Folenius”
