On November 1st my beautiful mother, Betty R. McKinney, passed away after a long fight with
ALS, also known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease." She died in her home surrounded by her husband John and long time friend Marianne. She will be deeply missed.

memorial will be held at the
Poughkeepsie United Methodist Church,
tentatively on Wednesday,

Updates coming. The title of this post is from one of Mom's favorite psalms,
psalm 284.
