I am very sorry for the loss of
Betty. She was an absolute pleasure to know when she was a resident at Pocasset Bay Manor. I will also never forget how nice Wayne and Debbie were to me all the time and the time you brought me the roses, because you appreciated our relationship that Betty and I had while she was at the manor. God Bless you and your family at this sad time in your lives.
I will always remember Betty always!
