I met Betty in my early years of teaching, but she welcomed and loved me like she had known me my whole life! We did a District training together and then, in turn, we got to go train other faculty in the district. I learned so much listening to her and absorbing her wisdom, knowledge and advice. Though she taught elementary school and I taught high school, there is one thing she said to me that I have clung to and referred back to numerous times. Betty told me, "Lois, whether they are 6 or 16, all these kids need is to know that we truly care for and about them." How right she was. I am so thankful to have known her and though it could be years between seeing each other, it was like she saw me every day when we did meet. Betty Gallina was so full of love. She was love personified. I pray that her family will continually celebrate this beautiful, beautiful lady and the eternal legacy she leaves to cherish in all of the people whose lives she touched. May the emptiness and heartache her family and dear friends are feeling today soon be replaced with joy and good thoughts. Know that when Betty entered the presence of God, He smiled, embraced her and said, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

With sympathy,
Lois Conatore-Houpe
