Betty was lovely. I had many happy years of her friendship and love and I worked with her at Penn in the Provost's Office. We had always kept in touch and she and Tom were just so special to me. Rest in peace, Betty. You will be so greatly missed. My sympathies to the family at this difficult time. Joan Paye

My sympathy goes out to Liz's loving family. I did not know her, personally, but do know her brother Wally (Vernie) and it is obvious that they were 'cut from the same cloth' as she was described to me. Certainly, she will be missed by all who knew her and may the memories they shared with her be of consolation at this time.
