I can't tell you how much I love and appreciated you, and your love for Gary and your comfort for me, in his regards. One of our last conversations you mentioned that Gary would only hug those you told him to hug and I appreciated your love for him and how you showed it for all the family. Thank You for being you. Love Sandy Barriage

I knew Betty from long ago days when she lived with the Pfeil family near Waunakee. We attended Ella Wheeler Wilcox Grade School together. She was a good friend & I have wonderful memories of her. She was kind, thoughtful and FUN!! I feel fortunate to have known her.
My sympathy to Betty's family & friends.
