I knew Betty through Charles and would spend hours sitting together watching him compete in Special Olympics, Such an amazing woman and mother. Always positive and encouraging in her son's advancement and happiness as I'm sure is true for all of her family. We're sorry for your loss but also know that her legacy lives on in each of you.

Dear family, mom was a very special person and will be missed dearly but will always live in our hearts. She lived for her children and for her grandchildren, and always put family first. I was so fortunate to have such a loving and kind person as my mother-in-law, who welcomed me with open arms into the family so many years ago. She will always live on through each of you and her grandchildren, extended family and many friends. I love you all, Joe.
