Aloha Betty,
We will remember you as a charming lady with a ready smile, genuine concern for others, and a family who adored you. Life doesn't get any better than that does it?

Mom,

Our hearts are empty without you, but we are so very relieved for you that you are finally at peace. To get us through this sad time, we will cherish the many fun-filled, wonderful times we had with you and how you would always make us laugh. We will miss you terribly, but your spirit will live on through us! All our love.

On behalf of the Babcock and Wilcox Company, and particularly Betty's friends in the B&W Chicago Office we offer our sympathy, and at the same time we celebrate our friendship. I speak also for Ron Murray, Gordon Markley and Gordon Skinkle, who knew her during her service with the company.

I am sorry to hear of Aunt Betty's passing and unable to make today's services. I have many wonderful memories of Aunt Betty, Aunt Marilyn, and Grandma Helen from when I was young. Thinking of you all.
