It is with great sadness that I learn of Betty’s passing. Her courage at the time of Max’s death, providing for her three beautiful children, a successful career, a loving family, a full life.
Betty was such a wonderful lady and friend. I met her through real estate and quickly learned how delightful she was. This video reminds me she was always well dressed, had her nails done and loved to knit! Heaven gained a good one!
