John and Betty has to be my favorite customers at the restaurant, they came daily and I have been lost without them and heartbroken, he truly loved Betty and cared for her so sweetly and they showed me that love does still exist. I will miss him playing his willie Nelson on the phone and telling his stories, prayers are with Betty and I hope she can hold onto all of the good memories with him, I heard quite a few and could only imagine the ones I didn’t hear, may God comfort her
