Aunt Betty was such an important part of my life. I will miss stopping by for visits when we were in town. She is the reason I love Christmas. She always made Christmas special. She will never be forgotten.

Remembering all the fun times we had at the Tishhouse house when we were kids and my family would return home to Otsego to visit. Aunt Betty I’m so happy I was able to talk to you just before Christmas. You will be missed. So sad to think all the Hill siblings have passed away.

Aunt Betty’s graduating to Heaven creates such a huge hole in our lives, but we rejoice knowing we’ll all be together again someday! She was such a gracious, fun host. We always looked forward to stopping at the Tishhouse home whenever our family visited Otsego, particularly during the Holidays! We could always count on great cookies and fun games! I’ll always be thankful in having “reconnected” with her these last few years! I’m going to miss her phone calls.

Dear Aunt Betty
Thank you for always being there for our family. I have so many fond memories of visiting during Christmas and the big meals we all shared together. I also remember you making me write 500 time that I would be good in Study Hall—thanks for letting me cheat a little by using carbon paper.
Love You and Will Miss You
Jimmy
Please tell Uncle Bob that I miss him too

Dear Cathy and Steve,
I am very sorry to hear about your mom.
I always had so much fun at your house. Your mom was always baking good things for all of us to eat. At your house is where I learned to bake cookies.
My memories of your family will always be close to my heart.
