Betty (& Dave) have been dear friends of ours for 50+ years. Back then they moved in next door to where I lived in Annapolis, MD, & began coming to St. Paul's Lutheran Church where I belonged, and taught in St. Paul's Lutheran School. One Sunday Betty invited Bob & me to lunch after Church. (She even made me a new dress to wear that day, to be sure I looked my best to impress Bob.) Several months later Betty planned a shower for me and 6 months later Bob & I got married at St. Paul's. Betty also planned the wedding reception at the church after the ceremony, which took place during a regular Sunday Service. We have been friends through all these years. Betty has often helped me when I needed help, or even just a shoulder to lean on, or an ear to listen. I have always valued our friendship & our Christian Sisterhood & fellowship - through visits in person, by letters & phone calls. I will miss her, but I'm thankful she is with the Lord, without anymore aches and pains, just pure JOY!
With much love for her family, Ruth & Bob Bugge
