I turned on my Blackberry this morning and read the news about Betty. I started to cry immediately, even though I haven't seen Betty in who knows how many decades.So many adjectives come to mind - bright, warm, loving, courageous, a survivor, nothing phony about her. Her memory should be a blessing to her family and all who knew her.

Betty--All these decades after you left Portland, we kids still remember your laugh more than anything--it was the BEST! You rose to the occasion with your fabulous kids when Lew was taken so unexpectedly--I'll always remember your kids and us kids inner-tubing down Mt. Hood to the latest music craze at the time--the Beatles! I treasured getting to keep in touch with you on my trips to the bay area in the 20some years ago. Portland news quite honestly has never been the same since Lew left, and the world will never be quite the same now that you have ascended. I rejoice that you are back with Lew! Thank you for the grand memories! With greatest love and affection,
