Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.
Staff and Residents here are missing that “young” lady who rose up early in the mornings to read her book,drink coffee, keep tabs on everyone who walk by. We do know that you are in the place that you often talked about. God Bless You and your family.
It is never easy to lose a loved one no matter what age they are but know they will always be with you in the happy memories that you shared and will always be looking over you. With deepest sympathy,
We stood so far apart in religion, but in so many other ways, I carry your gentle manner and gracefulness with me to this day. As arbiter of social correctness, family mediator, and quiet, constant presence, you were the center of our family for so many years.
My kind and gracious grandmother, to you I owe my gratitude for the love between a man and a woman. Thank you for loving, again and again, and showing me how to choose to be happy, again and again. I am surrounding you with white light blessings.
What a wonderful Lady and Friend. Betty,you have been a Class Act. Great to be around, “not a mean bone in your body”. I will miss the many mornings you graced the Vienna Inn with your quiet dignified presence, and warm friendship to all.You were generous with time in helping my Grandson Sean with his H.S. project about the Great Depression, which you lived through. Thanks for all that you were, all you did for others, and for just being you. You will not be forgotten.
