To Steve,Greg,Christine&Ken, My prayers are with all of you during this time. To me, Betty was the sister I never had. I could sit and talk with her for hours and tell her things that I could not tell anyone else. She was an outstanding person, a caring & skilled nurse and an amazing wife, mother and friend. Betty told me her legacy is her children and all of you have made her so proud. In her short lifetime, she touched the hearts of so many people. Thank you for sharing her with me and I will forever treasure our friendship.
