I had the pleasure of working with Betty when I served her daughter in residential services many years ago. She had a lasting impact on me and my career. She was a strong advocate not only for her daughter but for all folks with developmental disabilities. She managed to be strong, yet gentle, with her approach to problem solving. She represented parents of people with disabilities well, with kindness and professionalism. Thanks for all that you did to make the world a better place Betty! Heaven got a winner!
