Donna, I am so sorry for your loss. I know there are no words to take away the pain in your heart. Just know that I am thinking of you and praying for you.

I worked with Betty for many years and always admired her sense of humor and her ability to "put on a good face" even when things didn't go her way. I still remember her Halloween costume when she came to work as a clown carrying an umbrella that only had ribs and no covering--she was great! She always had that smile, even while losing money at the Palace where I ran into her several times over the years. I will miss seeing her and my prayers are with her entire family.

Colleen,
I'm so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. I worked with your mom from 1978 to her retirement. I will remember her as always making me laugh and always having a kind word to say. I remember even when things weren't going her way, she continued with a smile and a positive outlook. She was a good influence for me as I was just a (kid), as she called me, when I started working for the agency. My prayers are with you and your family.
