My deepest condolences to the Sturtevant family, especially David! In the past year, Betty routinely defied her condition to attend and participate in our weekly Parkinson practice/support groups. The power of her presence, smile,and laugh would transcend the physical limitations of her condition. She brought joy and inspiration to all that she met.

David has been a steadfast partner,a vocal advocate, and clearly a loving husband. Betty will be missed!

I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a force for good in our world. Cherish your many memories of her.

My sincere condolences to you, Paul, and your entire family.
