    I’m so sorry to learn of Betty passing. It was so good to have a chance to see her at Tom’s reunion party this summer and although I knew she had been experiencing some health issues, I had no idea they were serious. Betty had dealt with some difficult events throughout her life but continued to have a positive attitude. She was always big sister to her siblings and there are so many family memories that will console you throughout this difficult time. My sincere sympathy to all of you.

    There really are angels on earth and Betty was truly one of them. My family will be eternally grateful for the kindness and care that Betty gave our parents.
    Rest in peace, Betty.
