To my loving sister
I’m going to miss our time together and talking on the phone asking ‘What are you cooking for Sunday dinner?” I can remember the first time you baked bread. You put it in the oven and it came out hard as rocks. You said you could use it for hockey pucks.Say hello to Mom – You’re in good hands
I love you with all my heart

Sincere condolences to your family. Betty was a wonderful lady. She was one of the first faces I saw every morning I went to work. Her infectious smile always improved my mood and made my day brighter. I’m sure she did the same for want others who worked or stayed at the Waterford. We were all lucky to have had her there.
