James Sandberg from Batavia , IL
"Aunt Betty was always kind and helpful to me. Many, many moons I got mixed up in a record club deal. They did everything wrong. They changed me wrong, sept me the wrong records and so on. I couldn’t get things corrected. Aunt Betty got it straightened out for me. She also got me out of the club. The love Aunt Betty and Uncle Frank had for each other was amazing. I always loved going over to Aunt Betty and Uncle Frank’s house. I am grateful to have had Betty Wilderspin as my aunt. I will miss her dearly."
