Betty was a great favorite of my father, John Ban. He and my mother enjoyed your parent's company very much, and especially your Mom's cooking. I hope you can find comfort in many happy memories of them.

Betty gave me such great advice as a mother, wife and good friend. She had such exquisite taste and appreciation of beauty and history! I am better for knowing her! Deborah Sokol

My deepest sympathy to Carl Robert, and the rest of the Chaleff of family. I share your sorrow at this sad time. I was so privileged to be a friend of Betty and Borey fo a long time. I was their sales rep at Stoops Buick and we had developed a special bond unlike you would think. Betty was such a gracious and fun loving person and I was able to take Borey to D.C. on the Indy Honor Flight on his birthday in 2014. They both loved life and I will never forget .them. RIP Betty Chaliff. I pray we will meet again one day.
