Condolence: I would like to express my condolences to Kim, Paul, and all of Aunt Betty's family. I can think of so many wonderful times when our families got together for fun-filled activities and visits around the kitchen table. Aunt Betty always made every event more enjoyable because of her tremendous enthusiasm for all kinds of adventures. You could depend on Aunt Betty for rock solid support, through thick and thin. Her joy in helping others was ongoing, and Aunt Betty always seemed happiest when extending herself to do kind favors for family and friends. You could not ask for a more generous and caring aunt. My family misses her very much, and we will never think of her without happy thoughts, because she gave us so many things that made life better. We love you. Rest in peace, Aunt Betty.

Condolence: I have so many wonderful memories of my dear sister-in-law Betty. One of the earliest recollections that comes to mind is of Fred and Betty skating to the Tennessee Waltz at Lester's arena on the First Line. Betty was a fun person to spend time with. She was a very loyal friend with such a kind heart. Betty always had a lovely personal touch with the thoughtful things she did for others. Betty made such delicious baking treats that we looked forward to at Easter every year. I remember a special trip to Dorset to see Aunt Doris and the great fun we had on that day. Betty approached everything she did with such enthusiasm. I can hear her wonderful laugh during the fun times. Being with Betty made events feel like exciting adventures. She was an ardent supporter of the girls baseball team. Having Betty on your team or your side in any situation meant that you had the best support you could ever hope for. I miss those special times with Betty. Rest in peace, my dear friend.

Condolence: Sorry to hear of Aunt Betty's passing. I remember her as a very nice person full of spunk and hope that she is at peace in a better place!

Condolence: I was sorry to hear that Aunt Betty was gone, Kim, but can't help but smile and laugh whenever I think of her. I can still hear her and Uncle Fred sitting at my mom's kitchen table laughing as they did so often over the years. If Aunt Betty was on your side, a kinder and more supportive person you would never find. If you had an issue or if someone was unkind to you, she was the person who you wanted by your side. She was a fierce protector of everyone she loved and found her greatest joy in taking care of others. She was the definition of selfless. Fred and Betty, together again. Hopefully that brings you some comfort. My thoughts are with you, Paul and your boys.

Condolence: It is with an extremely heavy heart that I write this condolence. How do you say it all without writing a novel? Thinking about how wonderful you were as my mother, my children's grandmother, my confidant, and my very best friend. You had it all. You were bright. You were beautiful. You were talented. You were musical. Nobody could come close to your cooking and baking because everything you made was with love. People and animals sensed your gentleness and were drawn to you. As your daughter, I selfishly never wanted to let you go but watching your health decline, we knew it was your time.

We will all love and miss you Mom. As your Alzheimer Disease progressed, we rallied around laughing and loving you but never at you, as you remained our mother and grandmother. We feel very blessed to have had this time together. You taught us everything we know except how to live without you.

We love you Mom and Grandma.
