Betty was my Grandmother's best friend and later, my Aunt's great girlfriend. I can remember playing Ships, Captain and Crew all night long at the old Elks Club with Betty and my grandmother. For the past 10 years, Betty, my Aunt and my sisters celebrated our birthday's at Cafe Lucci's. Our birthday lunch's usually lasted 5+ hours!! We will all miss Betty so very much. We all loved her , she was considered part of our family.
