Memories of you and Mrs Hann and avon

Rest in peace
My mom was one of Betty’s Avon customers in the early 1980s. I remember talking to her several times as a young child of 4, 5, and 6 years old. I remember that she was such a warm, friendly, endearing lady. I also remember that she always smelled nice. Despite being a child I remember that she spoke to me as though what I was saying was important and mattered. I happened upon this about a year late, and I hope that if her family visits this page they can know that her impact in life was not limited to only those who had an ongoing relationship with her. I only knew her for a brief window and only as a child. But again, she was a loving presence. I trust she will be missed by those who knew her better than I.
