I have known Betty for almost all of my 61 years, but mostly as my mother's best friend. I remember the letters and pictures that Betty would send to mom of her girls, never thinking I would meet up with her years later as she invited the family to her and Emmett's home after our Grandmother Velma Cain passed away in 1986..she was so kind and fixed a marvelous meal for us. they made us feel like family. It wasn't until last February when we lost our mother Alice Bergen that I knew of the special friendship between the two..it was not easy for her to do, but she was "there" and I loved her for that...what a special friend she was for almost seventy years...I miss you Betty, but thanks for those few special memories you told me of you and mom...Love you Lori Anderson

Although I have not seen Betty in a long time I will never forget her kindness to me. She inspired me to become an interpreter and to work for many wonderful years in the Spokane area. Always with her best wishes and support. I will miss her dearly.
