I am so sorry that I did not hear the news of your loss sooner so that I could have been with you today. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I am so grateful to have had the chance to visit with Bettyann in September and share a laugh with a great woman. She will be sorely missed by so many.

"........Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment
when someone at my side says,
" There she goes! "
there are other eyes watching her coming . . .
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout . . .

" Here she comes! "

I am stunned that Bettyann has passed away. I still remember her birthday party when we went to OLM! Then every day riding to St. Rose with the other Westlake girls. Condolences to all the family and with deepest sympathy for your loss. But I know Bettyann is in heaven. She was a sweetie.

I am so sorry to hear about Betty Ann. The loss of someone so close is difficult. We share your grief and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Memories of Westbrook Ave. in Westlake come rushing back as the Feeley's and Whites were the "settlers" of the block when the houses were new. OLM Parish picnics, the festivals, Bingo, etc.. Sports, fun and get-togethers. Lifelong memories, all. Rest in peace, BettyAnn. Thoughts and prayers to Betty & clan, Marc and family.

I am so very sad for you all. I will so fondly remember Bettyann's warm and cheerful smile, her laugh was a laugh I can hear when I think of her. How lucky the angels are to have her with them.
