Orv, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that all the memories you have built over the years with Betty will sustain you during this difficult time. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Sharon Frost
Dear Orv and children, I send my sincerest condolences to each of you over the loss of Betty this past week. Orv, from all you’ve shared over quick lunches and aside conversations…you two were one of the most fortunate pairs on earth! Both to have found each other, experienced the wonderful family life you share, and explore the far reaches of the world together through your travels. There are not words to express the grief that ensues with the passing of a loved one, only the satisfaction that your special bond will never end. I will be thinking of you all on Sunday. Take Care!
