Betty Lou

Let me tell you about a story that's certainly true.
It's about a lady who was named Betty Lou.
She went to school with my uncle and was the mother-in-law of another uncle of mine.
Everybody who knew her, knew that she was sweet and kind.

She had two children and a marriage that lasted nearly sixty years.
Now her friends and family are mourning and shedding their tears.
She had been sick for a while before she passed away.
All of her family will love her for the rest of their days.

It's always painful when a good person dies.
Betty was a Leo just like my mom and I.
Pain and grief are what her family is going through.
They're having to say goodbye to Betty Lou.

[Dedicated to Betty Lou Williams (1939-2013) who died May 27, 2013.]
