I am so sad to find that sweet, dear Betty is no longer with us. She was a wonderful lady that went out of her way for people. I lost touch with her once she moved away from Westmont. Love you Betty!

I was so sad to learn of the passing of Betty in the local paper. I was not aware that she was ill. I lost touch with Betty after she moved from Westmont, but I have never forgotten her warm smile and infectious laugh.
I have wonderful memories of Betty and spending much time at her nail salon. She was one of the kindest people I have ever met! I'll never forget the time she and I went to the fabric store after getting my nails done so that she could sew Halloween costumes for me and my husband. Our family went as the mouse family to the local park district event and won the contest. I know that Betty will be sorely missed by many.
