I just learned of my Mom's best friend's passing and it saddens me. Betty was there for after my Mom died when I was 14. She was always cheery and encouraging. My best memories of her is her Christmas Eve open houses and them she would work overnight wrapping presents. She was the ultimate hostess for Christmas and other gatherings. That made her a natural for hosting kids' birthday parties at McDonald's. She was an excellent seamstress. She helped me with my 4-H sewing projects and helped me make a quilt from patterned sheets for my dorm bed my first year of college. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the whole Ketterman family. You had a great Mom, Grandma, and great-grandma.
