  8. Lots of special memories of our times with John and Betty and the family in our teenage years. And then during those tough years with Jackie during her illness, it was a privilege to see both Betty and John’s dedication to their daughter. Rest in peace Betty. Well done good and faithful servant. Much love. Vicky and Leonard Hamey
