Dear Mike and family.
How sad to just learn of Bettys passing. What a wonderful lady.
Everytime you met her and had a chance to sit down and talk was a treat.
Please remember all the great friends you people have made, here and back in Scotland and especially, your friends in Rotary, all remember with great fondness the wonderful times at your farm.
She was a treasure who will not be forgot.
