Linda and family, so sorry for your loss and the suddenness of it. I have fond memories of your mother and her friends (Bob H, and Roger and Jan Severson) —they were fun to wait on at Tully’s II, especially when Cory was around!
I hope your good memories sustain you in this time of need, Julie

I can't believe that Betzy is no longer with us. We go back many years for socializing before and after we married. Playing cards and enjoying a beer. Lots pf laughs and good times. I feel bad we didn't stay in touch. Linda was just a little one when we met in our small apartments on Bowen Ct. She kept us entertained. Now you three girls will have fond memories of your wonderful mom to keep her spirit alive. She will be missed by all who knew her. My deepest sympathy to you all. An old friend, Alice Copper
