We send our heartfelt sympathy to Joe and all the family.Betty was a great gal and will be sadly missed.
Margie and Tracy and families I was so sad to hear of your Mom’s passing. I have many happy memories of both your Mom and Dad from when they lived in Deloraine.
One of my fondest memories of your Mom are from my highschool prom many years ago. Your Mom was all excited to help me get dressed and couldn’t wait to curl my long straight hair. Needless to say the curlers got tangled in my hair and we had to cut them out of my hair before the big event.
I was of course in tears as was your Mom. The standing joke for years after when I saw your Mom was “here Donna, let me curl your hair for you”. Your Mom always had a twinkle in her eye and was quick to laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during this difficult time.
It was a great shock to hear about the passing of Betty.What a wonderful person she was. Her smile and happy personality will be missed.Our thoughts are with Joe and her children.
Our thoughts are with Joe and Betty’s children at this time. I am sure you will be remembering all the great memories you have of her as she was always smiling and enjoying her friends and family.
Our deepest sympathy to all of Betty’s family and Joe and his family. She was a wonderful person and will be missed by all. We have many memories.

We were very sad to here of Betty’s passing, Betty was our father’s and husband’s cousin, and though we did not see her too much, we always knew of her and her family. She was part of our Cartwright connection which will always be special to us.
