We send our love to Ross & family at this difficult time. We have fond memories of visits to Orillia and Peterborough & visits with Ross and Betty in Ridgeway, Ont. We looked forward to Betty's emails, the last few years, and her concerns for our family. She had a special way of letting us know how much she cared about us.

I'm so sorry to hear of Betty's passing. She was a wonderful woman, one of the kindest people I have ever met, and with a terrific sense of humour. We are all better for having known her. My sincerest sympathies to the family.
