Betty was my Aunt. She was always happy to see me and she and Don always welcomed us into their house, even though it made the child to adult ratio 9-4. I'll always have the great memories of being at her house in Carmel and the one in Buffalo as well. God bless.

Betty was not only my sister-in-law but my friend though life. I have so many fond memories of us playing 5 cent poker at Blackhawk here in Colorado. I will miss her letters , I would make a cup of tea then curl up in
the chair and have a "visit" with her. I loved her.I
I was one of her bridesmaids at her wedding, we
shared many years together...how fortunate I was
to have her in my life. Rosemary
