Thankfully, many of us got together for lunch before Covid struck and we had a wonderful chat.

I am so shocked and saddened by this news. Betty and I kept in touch though we couldn’t meet for Archives Committee because of Covid.. I saved my jigsaw puzzles for her and she always came with a cake for me at Christmas., She was a truly good friend and a good person always concerned for her family and others but never about herself.. I can’t tell you how much I will miss her. My sincere sympathy to her family.
Kimberley and family saddened to know Betty passed away. Your mom was a gentle kind lady first met her when you were preschool and recently we chatted
because my grandson is moving near by. cherish the love and kindness she has given you over the years and take care of yourself you were her pride and joy.
I was so sad ti hear about your Moms passing Kim. She truly was a beautiful lady

She is now safe in the Arms of Jesus. Celebrate her life and not her death.
