Not sure what to say?

Dear Betty: I would have loved to say good-bye to you today. I will always remember our day in your house in Cape May; the warm atmosphere, the good food, and above all the great conversations we had. I will always remember you as being elegant, warm eloquent and so smart. I am grateful that I met you. We will all miss you.

Betty and John have been wonderful New York City friends for almost twenty-five years. I and other mutual friends met them through John's work at NYU, and we spent many enjoyable evenings together over dinners at their cozy apartment or elsewhere. We would discuss the world, history, politics, education - so many things - and shared much humor (Jesuit jokes, mathematician jokes ...), and a very warm and heartfelt connection. Betty will be so missed by all who knew her. We will keep Betty...

Uncle Jack, It is sad that Betty passed.Yet we celebrate her life in memory.While Betty will always be remembered and deeply missed, Betty is now in eternal life with God and his son Jesus. We Love you Betty and Jack. Sincerely, Bill, Bev, Billy, Amanda, Ryan Knobel.

Mom, I will miss our talks most of all. Your loving son, Mark
