Keith and Sandy I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear about Betty. I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed taken care of her and helping her and talking to her at the living center I know that she will be missed by the residents there and I know that if I still worked there I would miss her a lot as I already did since I have been gone from there by no fault of my own.Betty was one of the residents that I thought about every day and still do think about her a lot. As her sign...

Betty and Mac were trust clients of mine for many years. I grew to love them both. I met all of you at Mac's funeral and had the privilege of getting to know some of you even more before I retired. Your Mom was the best. We became great friends because of our mutual interests in needlework, fishing in MN and martinis! My husband, Bob, sold Mac and Betty a car that they loved and he got to know them, too. This summer our entire family (22 strong) went to our old resort in MN and I told...

I am so sorry to hear of Betty's death. She was a wonderful and loyal friend to my mother. When my mother could no longer drive, Betty would take her out to to dinner every Sunday evening. She was such a strong and independent woman. I was amazed at how quickly she recovered from her broken hip several years ago. She was truly an inspiration. I am so sorry for your loss.

Betty was a great friend to my mother, Darlene. Darlene's daughters will always remember Betty for that friendship.

Your mom sounds like a wonderful lady and after reading her life adventures, I know where you got your zest for living from. Hold on to the memories and keep on keepin' on for her. Hugs to you.

Indeed, she was a lovely lady. My mom enjoyed her friendship for so many years as fellow Bradley alumnae and members of the Home Economics organization. And, I always enjoyed my encounters with her as she was coming and going on the Bradley campus to work with the Radio Information Service.

So sorry for your loss. Godspeed, Betty.
