    So sorry about Betty’s passing. She was such a sweetheart and loving mom and friend. I have great memories about her when we all went to Calvary church as kids, and later running into her as an adult. I did a program at Elmwood once when she was there and had a great visit with her.

    I am sorry for your loss. I went to church with Betty and loved her dresses and the purse to match. To me she was a fashion icon. She was a wonderful person. She touched my life deeply.
