Betty was very near death herself. It... is a miracle that we have her with us. The baby, which was the image of Betty, was full term though very small. Betty named her Marjorie Ann, after our grandmother, Marjorie Ann Browning. Times have been hard for Betty and Stan, but they are courageous and determined to get ahead.

I’m helping my sister get ready for a sale so she and Stan can clear up their debts and start fresh. What an adventure!MoreLessRead More Read Less
