On the occasion of their 31st anniversary.
Nat and Betty used to 'travel' in the same social group. They knew each other from various get-togethers. When the Mister's dad was hospitalized, Nat began helping Betty with the 'man' things around the house., arranged for oil changes and new tires for her car, as well as basic house needs.
What was very special for us is that he came to visit, when he planned to ask the Mister's mother for her hand in marriage. He shared his financial information with the Mister's mom, and brought us a gift with the following message:
I use this plate on special occasions and always think of Nat and how he contributed to our family.
We have lost both Nat and Betty, but know they are in a better place.
My life is richer for having known both of them.
