I knew Betty as my two-houses-down neighbor. We shared a love of dogs, and she was a fun person to talk to when either of us was walking a dog. She sold her house this summer, and I've missed her ever since.
I knew Betty from St. Dominic Church. We saw each other almost weekly there, often sitting next to each other in the same pew. Betty was gentle, with a quiet strength I always admired. She had a warm heart and she was the epitome of kindness, sympathy and grace. I count myself lucky to have had the chance to know her.
Betty was such a day brightener! I enjoyed every interaction I had with her in the dining halls.
