David and I want to give our condolences to Albert Duffy whom he shares a lot of memories with. They were both meat cutters and he met Betty. We just discovered this news and hope this message gets to Albert. David and him became great friends. Al, we are sorry for your loss.

Betty was a dear friend and loved by so many. Her smile was genuine and she loved to be "out and about". May God's grace comfort her family.

I worked with Betty at Lake Park High School for a short time and she always had a great energy. She often talked about her family and seemed to have a real joy for life. lnspired by her, I keep a candy dish on my desk after seeing how hers brightened many a student´s day!

I have so many fond memories and stories with Betty. She was never afraid to do anything! We could talk on the phone for a couple of hours, say goodbye, and not talk again for 2/3 months but when we did, we could pick up right where we left off! She was like a sister to me and I will miss her until we meet again. With Love and heartfelt sympathy! Nance´
