Mom, Auntie Lisa, Uncle Bobby, Auntie Debbie & Grandpa, I watched along side of you the entire unfolding of this sad story. I think its safe to say that this was the most difficult thing we have ever had to do as a family. Because of her, our family is close. Because of her, none of us will bare this burden alone. I love you all, so much, so many different ways. She was the world to all of us, but you lost your wife and your mother... I wish I could take your pain, instead I share it. If any of you, need any thing I think you know, I will be there. She will live forever in our hearts. We will carry on her ways. They are the only ways we know. I love you all, very, very, much.

Our fondess memory of Betty is breakfast on the piazza on camp st. Betty would knock on our dining room widow and insist that we have breakfast with her and Bob in their sreen house( the piazza as Betty would call it). We would spend the whole day there playng cards and cooking out till late at night. Summertime on camp st was always an enjoyable time because of Betty & Bob. We will both miss her very much and summers will never be the same for us.
We offer our deepest sympathy to all her family. We shared your laughter while she was with us and now we share your pain.
