- 13. Adventurer The Impossible Dream carried Betty and Jim on an anniversary balloon ride. Bettys zest for life and desire to live it to the fullest had her pursuing her own bucket list long before it became mainstream.
- 14. Traveler As snowbirds, Betty and Jim traveled many years to the state of Texas, which became their second home. There they built friendships that crossed the globe. As the saying goes with a bit of literary license, She wasnt born in Texas but she got there as fast as she could. Although not a native, Betty truly earned her Texas green card.

- 19. Afterglow Id like the memory of me to be a happy one, Id like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. Id like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. Id like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun; Of happy memories that I leave when life is done. ~Unknown
