Dear Fred,
Our family is saddened to hear of Ms. Betty's passing. She will be remembered by us as our "neighbor lady that worked DAILY on her flowers, bushes, and plants". She always had a lovely smile and grim for our boys. I remember the one "hot & sunny" day that I stepped into a red ant hill in our front yard while I was mowing the yard, and Ms. Betty came over right away to take me to her water hose to have the red ant fall off me. I was very thankful. You and your daughter Lauren will be in our prayers! If we can help you or Lauren during this time, please stop by.

~ Your neighbors, The Berry Family

Dear Fred, It is with heartfelt sympathy that we share your loss of dearest Betty. She was Carol's best friend and will truly be missed. They shared life together, thru their youth, working together, letters and telephone calls. We pray that you have the strength to go foward and continue to guide Lauren as Betty would have done. All our love, Carol and Peter.

Fred, So sorry to learn that you have lost Betty. Have not seen either of you for many years (since we all 3 worked at Rose & Krueth on Oakmears Crescent) but I remember how kind and helpful Betty was to me as I learned the business. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
