I sorely miss Aunt Betty. She gave the heartiest hugs! She was my aunt by way of my extended family, having served in Angola and Congo alongside my parents. She delivered our daughter at Kimpese, Congo, and years later, traveled by train all the way to Ft Worth, TX to attend our daughter’s wedding. While on vacation from our work in the Congo, every time we visited Betty, she was hospitable to the nth degree. We often took walks together around Winona and the Escarpment. Her poinsettias were one of her trademarks -- they dangled over the windowsill year after year. Her Christmas and birthday cards, sent without fail, were often surgically pieced together from 2 different, untouched cards. Aunt Betty had a good life with her priority focused squarely on her God and His People. I loved her so very much.
