I will cherish my last visit to SF with Betty, Bob & Linda in August 2016. She was full of energy and enthusiasm for life which I greatly admired about her, very caring and always made me feel so welcome. I will miss her and remember her fondly, I hope she is now at peace reunited with Paul. xoxo

I met Betty as a customer of Peter's Cafe. She was very sweet and hard working lady. I came to know her well through another customer and my good friend, Joe Monsor who was a twice daily customer. Although I have not seen Betty in a couple of years, I am so sorry to learn that she has passed.

Betty and Bob have been wonderful neighbors and friends. I will always remember Betty at rose trimming or tomato trullesing time as she was amazingly patient and generous with sharing her knowledge and skills. I'll miss her dearly. -Risa
