  1. For a long time, Betty was one of my best friends. We shared many special times and memories together, like vacations with so much fog that I walked along the road to guide her in the car as she drove. Even though we drifted apart, I have always held her close in my heart. My family and I send our deepest condolences to Betty’s family. We love you.

  2. My Very Dear Friend. The words you whispered in my ear a short while ago will always remain with me. You were so right true friendship never goes away no matter how long you go without seeing one another. I will always love you and the memories and secrets we shared. We’ve had some really great times didn’t we? I think you must have been the strongest woman I have ever know. I want to be just like you when {if} I grow up. Keep everyone up there smiling and save me a spot right next to you…. I will see you again my sweet friend. I celebrate your life.

  3. I was sorry to hear about Aunt Betty. There are so many great memories from Love Street and the pool parties and clambakes when we were growing up. I am sorry that we have not been in touch over the past several years. I remember my son always called her ‘Uncle’ Betty when he was young. I hope that the memories she has left behind will be a source of comfort for her sons and family.
