Betty was a dear friend that will be missed. She taught me piano lessons 30+ years ago and then went on to teach my children as well. My Mom (Vera Feld) and I enjoyed our times with Betty seeing the occasional plays in years past and our lunches when time allowed. What a great lady. I will miss our adventures together.
