I am so saddened to hear of Betty's death. SO thankful that as believers we know where she is now - no more pain.
I had the awesome privilege of working with Betty at The "Evening" Herald from 1971-1977. She was SO organized and on top of everything to do with Talbot and Wayne. I know there were MANY that will miss her.
Blessings and my Condolences.
