To the Novak, Burstein & Woodstein families, my deepest condolences for your loss. I will never forget all the beaded jewelry I used to make with Betty when Harry and I were in High School, and of course, it had nothing to do with the jewelry ... and everything to do with Betty's wit, humor, warmth and overall goodness. I loved our times together and my thoughts are with all of you.
