Enjoyed betty when she was a neighbor on east 39th. She always stopped to talk when she walked her little dog. Always a smile and a wave. My thoughts are with her family who she loved and proud of.

I will always remember Betty coming to Jack and Glennie's home playing cards and having a lot of fun with spending time with her family and friends. I grew up knowing the Blacksmith family and my sympathy and condolences to all of the family grieving this loss. Jack and Glennie have a special place in my heart and please know that I wish I were there to give you both a huge hug, especially in a time such as this loss.
