Dear Glen and family, I am so sorry to hear about Betty. I love Glen and Betty so much, and have enjoyed all of the travels we have had together! My thoughts are with you Glen. I know what you are going through. I love you and your family so much. Betty died six years to the day that Bill had died. Take care and let’s keep in touch. Love you all!

To Betty’s family: I am so sorry to read of Betty’s passing. She was always an added joy to my day when we would be in the same gym class at BAC. She would be especially happy when Kim came to visit and work out with her. I have missed her and will continue to keep her in my thoughts. I am blessed to have been able to know her. My condolences to all of you. Betty was a special fun lady!

Betty was the best. Sassy, feisty, sometimes fierce, and always memorable.
Peace to you Betty

Was very saddened to learn that Betty has passed. I always remember our adventures to Birch Bay when we were kids, backyard BBQ’s at your home or ours, Girl’s day lunches and all the other things our families did together. My thoughts and prayers are with Glen and the whole family.
