Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I worked at the Stain Glass Pub in the late 70's. Betty never asked me to anything she wouldn't due from scrubbing the bar to the bathrooms. I always had the utmost respect for her. She taught me to " never leave the dining room empty handed"never forgot it
What wonderful a family Sincerely
