She will be missed. She was so lucky to have family in her life who took such great care of her these past years.

Karen and Susan, I’m so sorry for your loss. Betty was really good to me back then. I’ve thought of her often.
Alot of my youth was spent at the Reyns’ home in Norwood with Susan. I have fond memories of that time and of all the family. My sincere condolences to all of you.
