I still miss seeing her at Book Group on Monday evenings, and miss her insight into what we read. I can hear her now, reading her cowboy poetry that she loved so much! Have a beautiful, heavenly Christmas, Betty! Love, Heidi Jung

Betty was a long time member of the Book Group that I ran at the Gates Public Library. Her insights were great and she often shared her personal experiences as they related to the novel as well. Not only was she a bright spot in the group she was also a wonderful, beautiful woman, and a meeting didn't go by where she didn't hug me and tell me that she loved me. Through the years I got to know "Mr. Betty", as she jokingly called her husband, and her daughter, Shirley. She was like a second mother to me, and I will miss her dearly! Enjoy that book group up in heaven. Love, Heidi
