I am so sorry to hear of your mother passing away. I am Deb Faith, daughter of Betty's neighbor, Kitty Sanders.
I enjoyed getting to know Betty during my visits to Brookdale and always thought she was interesting to talk with, active and energetic. That's what I want to be at 90! I would think to myself. Always a smile on her face, she will be sadly missed.
Please accept sympathies extended by the Sanders family.
