It is with such great sorrow to hear of Betty's passing. Betty and you were my pillars when I worked in Administration at the Hospital and you were Administration's volunteers. It was more than a pleasure working with Betty, it was great to know her and all her accomplishments in life. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.
