Dear Dr. Gruskay and family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Bette's passing. I have many fond and wonderful memories of working with her on the Buy a Note campaign over the past several years. It was an honor to work with Bette and to learn from her vast experiences and expertise. I will never forget her kindness and generosity.

May your many wonderful memories console you in this time of sadness. My prayers are with you.

Dear Susan and the Gruskay family:

While it has been decades since I saw your dear Mother, my memories of her are very vivid from our elementary, junior and high school years where I spent a great deal of time with your Mom. She was beautiful, gracious, loving and fun and did a fabulous job raising her family.

With condolences and prayers,
Candace Jung

Our sincere condolences to Drs. Gruskay & your family on Mrs. Gruskay's passing.

Dear Dr.Grusky

My Mom worked for you an Dick Shelling many years ago in Milford. She was Lucille Mastrangelo. My memory of Betty was the first time I met you both, she took me into your home. I was 13 and very much admired a large brandy sniffer on a shelf. She took it down, told me when the two of you had used it, and gave it to me. A very special memory for a young girl.
My prayers are with you and your family.
