Aunt Betty has always been very dear to me. She always had a ready smile,was interested in anything and everything that I had to tell her. She had a wonderful memory of things that happened in the past, about our parents,things we were unable to ask them about.She will be missed.

I have many very fond of Aunt Betty. Every time I saw Aunt Betty she made me feel special and I left feeling better as a result. Aunt Betty always let you know that she loved you and expessed how happy she was to see you. Aunt Betty did everything with a lot of passion. I can remember years ago her saying how she loved cooking for the kids at The University of Chicago, and wanted to do her best for them.I can also remember the many very good meals prepared for us over the years. My Uncle John could not have found a better wife.

My deepest sympathies to the family. I thank John & Rich for there hard work & devotion in taking care of their mom. I don't think there is anyone in the entire world that could have done a better job than John & Rich did.I'm sure she is happy in heaven seeing Uncle John, Aunt Mary, Uncle Pete , my mom , dad and other good friends & relatives.Aunt Betty you will be missed & never be forgotten. Heaven has just claimed one of the very good ones . Your nephew & God son
