To the Schmalenberger Family,
I so sorry to hear of Betty's passing. I grew up right along with their daughters. Martha was one of my best friends growing up. We would watch the "Wizard of Oz" every year in color downstairs at the "Piano Salon". Betty had me in children's choir at St. Paul's Lutheran and also
she helped with Bible school, Sunday school, etc. I have so many fond memories with the Family and they always made me feel so welcome. I saw Betty and Dave quite often at the BRC while visiting my Mother.
Betty was a sweet lady. My sincere sympathy to the Family.
