Kathy Six wrote a sympathy message

“Tim & Andrea, I am so sorry to see this news about your mom. What wonderful memories I have of those days, long ago, at First Christian Church here in Jacksonville. She was a great mentor to me even though we weren't that far apart in age. Always smiling, always willing to help. I'm sure these past few years have been hard on you. Please remember her as the fun loving, Betty, that I remember. May she rest in peace. With Love and Sympathy. Kathy Six”
