I really enjoyed playing bridge with Betty. She made me a better bridge player when I was just beginning to play. She taught me a lot. Sorry for your loss.

I absolutely adored Betty! The Wood's and Cornell's kept this young professional going to early chief service every Sunday for several years. Lunch afterwards was worth it.
