Don undefined Betty and had a good life together.
She was my grandmother and I have lots of lovely memories. She was a big part of my life as a child. She died when I was 8 yrs old and I cried for her daily. She will always be that shining star I look at in the evening sky and someday I will see her again. I know this because she came to me after her death and told me I would be ok and my parents would take good care of me. She said she was in Heaven with Grandpa and I would see her again someday. She stood in my bedroom in a blinding light with a peacefulness about her. I told her I loved her and she said the same to me and in an instant she was gone. I never cried for her again. I felt in my Soul everything was the way it should be and knowing she was waiting for me was enough to let her go.
