Our heartfelt feelings to all her wonderful family. The last time we saw her was at Ron's memorial and she looked beautiful. I am Sue Mellons sister. Sue feels sad that she is too ill to be at Betty's memorial. Betty was a sweet and wonderful person and will be missed. Please Lord help her family through this time of loss. Love Sandra Peruzzini.
