Betty: I was saddened to hear about Jim passing. I worked with Jim for 5 years in the 80's. We shared birthdays and always went out to dinner on August 5th. I wish you all the best. My deepest sympathy.

Betty, I'm not sure you remember me, but I used to work at Wyandotte Pharmacy in the early 1990s. I was on the site looking at information about my aunt when I recognized the name Starkey. I am so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. I have fond memories of you and remember seeing your husband come in from time to time. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Betty,
Oh how our hearts go out to you and your family. Please know that you are in our prayers. I read 63 years of Marriage and thought Praise the Lord what a friendship you two must have forged together. Thank God for memories. I am sure after 63 years you have many fond memories that will be of much comfort in the days to come.
In Christ Love
