Eleanor and Sherman Roberts
Sorry to hear of your loss. Betty was a very well loved, easy going person. I got to know Betty through my mother. They went to school together and she always remembered me no matter how long we hadn’t seen each other. I was just talking to her this year, we met at Pine Grove Park. She was walking her baby and I was walking mine. We must have talked for an hour. I was so shocked at her walking around the Grove, but I guess you can’t keep a good person down. May she rest in peace and may you all only think about happy times and good memories. She will definitely be missed by her family and many friends.
