Our friendship with Betty and Hal was through sq. dancing in Venice for over 26 years. We lived in 2 different Mobile Home Parks but we enjoyed their company. Hal made the best chocolates for our parties. Our sincerest sympathy.

Betty was my Mom's cousin; she was the daughter of my grandfather's sister, our dear Aunt Bessy Branson (nee Ashton). We were lucky enough to visit Betty and Howell at VOTI several times and greatly enjoyed their company and Betty's sharp wit; she was a true delight to be with. We will miss her. God speed.
