My deepest sympathy to Betty's family. I worked with her when she volunteered at Children's Hospital. What a warm and giving person Betty was. She came every week helping many children through tough hospitalizations. She was a wonderful and thoughtful person. So many children benefitted from her compassion. I was so sorry to hear of her passing. My heart goes out to her family. I have been blessed to have known her. She was an inspiration.

I have so many fond memories of Betty when I was growing up. She was a happy lady and so helpful to her friends and neighbors. I'll never forget her roast beef dinner; the best I ever ate. Betty lived an active life and she left behind a wonderful family. She will be sadly missed,
