She added, “My mom says there was a huge snowstorm that day; of course, that didn’t keep her from throwing us in her Oldsmobile and driving to church ⛪️😂 Baby Betsy almost didn’t make it into the photo! Fr. Evans and Fr. Fellows, I’ll always remember them. Also, what was I looking at? I was easily distracted, even then.”
Fans flooded the comments with reactions, with one Instagram user writing, “What a sweet picture! How special that you were all baptized together!”
