    Gene, Brenda, and family,
    So sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. I have many fond memories of our time in the old Merwald neighborhood. It was nice to see and catch up with you and Betty at the outpatient PT clinic when Vickie and I bumped into you all there. My condolences to your entire family. Bill

    Sorry that I missed the memorial. Betty and I were high school friends, we also shared the same birthday. We spent many hours together at Heights Christian Church as well as many hours doing school activities. After graduation we continued our friendship, even taking ballet lessons (just for the fun of it). Betty went off with Gene, and it seemed we only had birthday and Christmas greetings to share. Betty and I shared many happy moments during our times together.
