Dear Tom, Robert and Family,

Always impeccably groomed, I can still picture Betty greeting each TEP visitor with her radiant smile. She made every person feel as they were her most important concern. I join with so many others in offering my deepest sympathy on her passing. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that Betty's loss is felt by all who knew and loved her. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
