Carrie Nielson (Jason's wife) sang one of mom's favorite female country music artist - Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces"
Carrie has an amazing voice and did this song justice! |
 |
| Jason & Carrie took some main year dates from Betty's life and then told what was happening in the world that year. Such things as Gas prices, housing industry, stock markets, types of cars popular, top song, etc... Some of those facts were absolutely amazing to look back on! |
 |
| Michelle Prodromides (Patti's daughter) performed a melody of three songs on the piano to start the program off. Michelle represented the grandchildren group. |
 |
| Haley Larkin (Heidi's daughter, and the first great grandchild for Betty) played "Happy Birthday" on the piano at the very end. The second time through - everyone sang along to Betty. |
 |
At the very end of the program, us four children presented our mom with the original Mother's Day ring we had given her back in 1968! Mom had all her jewlery stolen a few years ago, except this piece. We took it and had new stones put in and polished up. It looked fabulous and sparkled.
The event was wonderful and all had a great time. |
