To all of Betty's family... We are going to miss her as a wonderful and smiling, happy neighbor. We will certainly miss seeing her at church on Sundays. We have fond memories of both her and Claude. The neighborhood will not be the same without her. We send our deepest sympathy and hope someday we will see her again. From her neighbors at 32 Calderwood, Art and Mel

Dear Tom, Kathy, and "Ace",
We were so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was such a gracious lady and certainly very tolerant of us, Kathy, as we watched American Bandstand every afternoon in your home. We hope that all of the pleasant, funny and warm memories will lighten your hearts. Pam (Wohlford) & Bob Williams East Aurora, NY

Dear Tom, Kathy, & Eugene,
My deepest condolences to all of you. Your Mom was a lifelong neighbor and friend. We watched our children grow up together and until very recently shared weekly hair appointments at Michael Angelo's. I will miss her.
