Very sad to learn of Betty’s passing. She has been a family friend for as long as I can remember, and I have many very fond memories of her. She had a wonderful, lively and engaging personality and though we didn’t often meet up in recent years, we did do so a few times. I always thoroughly enjoyed her company, and know she will be very much missed by her family and all who knew her. Please accept sincere condolences on behalf of me, my wife Marianne and our sons.
