My deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom. She always treated me with the greatest respect, and I was just a sailor from Pennsylvania. I have great memories of her and her patience when I used to play her player piano and sing loud enough to bother the neighbors.

May God give you the strength to continue with your head held high

Thank you Mary for calling me yesterday. I have spent the day thinking of your Mom, Aunt Betty, and remembering the years I knew her and all of you, her loving family. I remember her as a kind, loving, and strong woman. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time, and I send my love and sympathy to you and to those who may remember me.

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I remember Betty as my neigbor and close friend of my mother, Florence Lago, and godmother of my sister, Marietta. I hope you will find comfort in the fact that she is fondly remembered as a caring friend. I have many great memories of her from my childhood. Best wishes to all of you.
