Betty was my friend and co-worker. We had so many great times together and although I moved from Goderich 13 years ago, we still kept in touch by phone and later by Messenger when she could no longer speak. She had such a great sense of humor. She loved her family and friends. R.I.P, my dear friend. ♥

Regretfully I was unaware of your mom’s passing when I saw you this morning Jack. Such a painful loss for your family. Betty was a wonderful and funny woman, always a joke to crack when we crossed paths:). I remember her kindness when she would stop and chat to my dad at Maitland Manor. Hold your memories close and wishing you all the best as you struggle through this very difficult time.
