Dear family of Betty.
I loved going to visit Helen Salewski and Betty. Betty was always upbeat and fun to talk with. She will be missed.

To Betty's family,
We always loved Betty while she was a roommate of Helen Salewski. Even though they had little tiffs occassionaly they always found it in their hearts to laugh it off and have another drink of Baileys.
Now they can have one together in heaven.
Mary Guth (Helen's sister)

I knew Betty for many years at Smith Village. I would see her for podiatry appointments every few months and we would have interesting conversations about everything. She and her roommate Helen made a good pair. She lived a long life and left quite a lot of people to carry on her legacy. My condolences to all on the loss of Betty.
