So sorry to hear about Betty. We used to carpool together many years ago to Westinghouse and had many meals together at Hunter's Crossing. We had some fun & great times together. She was such a gracious loving friendly happy lady. I saw her this summer at Hot Dog World. She was often in my thoughts and you all will be in my prayers.
