Dear Family & Friends of Betty,
We are so sorry for your loss. Having just seen Betty and her friends from Von Stueben (FBA's) at the Bagel in Old Orchard in March, it was so sad to hear of her sudden death. We had lunch to catch up with her and some other friends from my Mother-in-Law's group of high school friends. Betty remembered all the details from our wedding in 1973. It was fun seeing all of them, as Harriet passed away 16 yrs ago. Betty was a warm, special person, and will be missed.

I am so saddened by the news of the loss of Betty. I know my mom & dad (Lenore & Earl) thought the world of her. The Original Rams were a big part of my childhood memories. I am glad that I had some time to chat with her at the Continental Restaurant last year. It was a brief conversation but Betty could turn a brief moment into a lasting memory. She will be missed by many.

We were sitting in Once Upon a Bagel in Highland Park and read the sad news about Betty's passing. This is the place where we used to run into Betty and Lee. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word for us. Being twins, we were especially pleased to have Betty in our lives. She was a wonderful friend to our parents, Tee and Manny Paull. Our condolences to Danny, Hubby, and Ricky (friends from the old neighborhood). Our love to the whole family. Iris Paull Morgan and Linda Paull Wallace
