Dear family of Betty, My dad, Charlie Hays, worked at Seismograph and bowled with Dee. I remember going to a party at the Wilsons' house as a child and drinking Shirley Temples with Paula and Dee Anne. We are very sorry to hear of the loss of Betty--she was a lovely lady.

Paula, I am so sorry to read about your mother's passing. I see she still has that wonderful sweet smile. I saw her at Cedar Ridge a couple of years ago when my son was working there. She was with a ladies group so I did not interrupt her. Ted sends his condolences as well. Give me a call and let's please get together. Thinking of you and your family as well as DeeAnn and family.
