I enjoyed knowing Betty and traveling to China and Hawaii with her. She knew how to laugh and have fun.

Funny Lady who loved life and certainly knew how to enjoy every minute. I'm sure she is "belly dancing" in heaven!

Betty, my pool playing friend, was so enjoyable and such a cheerful dearful. Great pool player and puzzle worker, 1000 piece only. No easy ones for her. Very laid back and contented with her lot in life. Udall billiards will not be the same without her. I will miss her and can't believe she will not be there with us. Elaine Smith, Tucson, AZ
