Kim, Ned, Scott, Brian, Suzanne and families: I just learned of the loss of Betty and wanted to express my sincere condolences to all of you. Betty was a dear sweet neighbor of mine on Rose Court for the past 14 years. We had a special connection through a mutual aquaintance, Elaine Johnson. Betty was blessed by and grateful for the dutiful devotion from her family. The hours spent, the meals shared the rides provided did not go unoticed or unappreciated. May you find peace and hold memories close in the days ahead.
