I remember when you wanted to sell your house in Lehigh Acres Florida and hired me as your realtor I was delighted as I had already met your daughter Janice Cataldi and she was so very nice to me. It was a beautiful house and very clean and spotless. Janice was so very proud her mother and the love just showed in her face and yep Betty had a twinkle in her eyes just like Janice! very good days wish we could turn back time sometimes Betty was truly a Special Lady
