To Betty’s loved ones: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of a very special person in your lives. Betty and I worked together at Ivey and although it has been years since we last talked, I remember her with great fondness. Linda

To the family of Betty Freeborn (died April 2, 2008): I was sorry to read about Betty’s death; she was a distant relative by marriage, and shared an interest in family history. I do mean “shared” in the full sense – she provided me with great help on the Jones family. My connection is to her uncle, Samuel Floyd Jones. When he was widowed, he married my widowed mother-in-law, Norma (Browne) Jones in 1959. If any of Betty’s descendants are interested in Jones Family History, please feel free to contact me: Mrs. Gail Browne (Mrs Ted Browne), 30 Northcrest Dr., London, Ontario N5X 3V8
