Not sure what to say?

Betty was "una colega" and a friend. She was a quiet "stand" for spiritual growth and transformation. I remember her with a heart full of love which just emanated from her heart and soul. She was a quiet witness for LOVE. She observed everything and everyone. I will always remember the words she said in praise of my daughter. She really did love her family.

Blessings of comfort to Betty's family and friends. I casually knew Betty through the Coptic Center and other Spiritual Groups. I enjoyed feeling happy when Betty joined us in our activities, which was often.

Betty was a beautiful Soul and added Loving energy everywhere she went. She loved life and her especially her family. Now she loves being held in the arms of the Divine. She will be missed. Keeping her and her family is healing Light.

I remember you from my time in Ithaca. My sympathies to your family, especially daughter Joy and son, Robert.

A beautiful and delightful soul. I will miss our wonderful conversations and joyful debates about coffee. Betty has a very special place in my heart.

My family and I met Betty through the Migrant outreach in Sparta, Michigan I was very young but I can still remember the smile she always had and how kind she was to us. May she rest in peace knowing how many lives she touched with her caring heart and warm smile. My condolences to the family.
