    Louise,David & families.I am so sad to see that Betty has passed.
    I had know her as a resident of Queen’s Manor during her time there
    and most recently during private care.I loved every minute with her.
    Betty always gave me a big smile & thumbs up when I came in.
    I so enjoyed the walks on sunny days with her but not as much as she
    did I am sure.Many times her way of asking to go on an outing would
    be to gather up her hat & sun glasses ,go to the door & wait for me to take her.
    May she be free from her pain & suffer no more .
