I never really knew Mrs. Beatty, but she cared for me in Ogden Utah when I was under a year old after my mother returned to work. She cared for me tenderly and I am sure prayed for me. I have wonderful pictures of me in a fancy dress with my hair curled and my first birthday party given by her, a dinner party, it seems. I am so grateful for her love and care and prayers.
