I first met Betty in the Fall of 1986. She had been preparing for her legal career at that time. We lost touch after she moved to the D.C. area. In 1998, I called back and was invited to a December Holiday get-together at her mom Edith's home, where I met her sister Marcia, and other family/friends. That was a memorable time for me, and I was saddened to read Betty's obituary. I offer my heartfelt condolences to Marcia and the family on their loss. I remember Betty as a warm, fun-loving person who had varied interests. I admired her courage in starting a new career. May she rest in Eternal peace.

Betty was a very creative and talented artist. She gave me this beautiful tray back in 2007. Although, we haven´t remained in close contact after our retirements, just knowing she´s no longer with us leaves a void.
