Aunt Bett was a wonderful aunt and a loving mother and wife. I have many, many fond memories of spending great times were her, Uncle Bill, and her lovely children�Linda, Greg, Bill, Lisa and Bruce�at their home in New Jersey. Aunt Bett was a great storyteller, had an amazing sense of humor and, like her sisters (my mother, Dorothy Anne; and Aunt Mae), possessed an inner grace that could calm any situation. Aunt Bett was always kind and generous to everyone in our family and she will be greatly missed by all of us. I send my deepest sympathy to my cousins and their families.

We were honored to spend some time with Betty when she moved to Amelia Island recently. Truly an elegant and delightful woman. She must have been a wonderful Mother. Our hearts go out to the family. Take care.
