While I had known you and your family first, l was happily surprised to have met and worked alongside Betty at the hospital. She was the calm in that storm at the front desk. What a sweetheart!

January 7, 2024 at 12:22 pmMy condolences to the family as you grieve for mom. Betty was indeed a kind and thoughtful lady, an angel of mercy. Many a day during inclement weather mom gave the neighborhood kids a ride to Central School.

January 8, 2024 at 6:46 pmOn behalf of my, Jeri Craig , we want to extend our deepest sympathies on your loss. Mom was quite upset when she found out; but that’s what happens when you lose a classmate and friend of over 75 years. She wanted to be there today but she spent the holidays in the hospital and rehab with Covid so she really wasn’t up to it. She will have many fond memories of their time together. May your Mom RIP and may many happy memories help you through this difficult time. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
