To all of you
I am Mary Schott-Garcia, Betty's daughter. I was at Helen Amelio's house on Saturday with my brother Jim and his wife and we were talking about your mom. How ironic that I read this in the paper today. I still remember your house on Olcott and how small it was and how all of you fit in that house. It was a long trip to come by bus, but we did it and I remember visiting at the dining room table.
I have fond memories of your mom. My best to all of you.

Dear Kathy and family. Wish I could be there for you. Your mother was a wonderful person and would write letters to see what was going on with me and my family. I always visit her when we were in town. My mom was a good friend of your mom and dad and we used to come and see you and your brothers and sister when we were young. I live in Florida now and hope you remember us. We are the Andrews family. I will always remember her. She was so sweet and so happy to me and my husband when we visited. I'm going to miss her very much. Jackie
