Dear Aunty Betty, You are loved by us more than you know. You made us feel special and loved even though we were living in a different country. Your cuddles were tight and filled with love. You taught us that age was not a boundary with you can do attitude, even if your arm strength couldn’t hold you up on the flying fox (and you broke your arm as a result). You saw our strengths and helped them blossom, we have fond memories of painting with you. You kept family alive with all of your stories about photo’s. We were so close to coming to visit you to hold your hand one last time and even though we didn’t make it, you will always hold a special place in our heart…. Especially when we play the “Aunty Betty game” when camping. We love you Aunty Betty. Love Amanda, Karen, and Warwick and families… including 7 great, great nieces and nephews.
Fond memories of Betty at many of the Morris/ Billington family functions. Condolences to the family 🌻
