Paul and I want to express our sympathy to all of Betty’s family. I will miss her so much. I have so many wonderful memories! She joined us a year ago to go to summer theatre and we were all looking forward to having her as part of the group again next summer. I have admired her dedication to Vic—she has been amazing! She has certainly taken a piece of my heart with her.

Although I never had the chance to meet her, the stories you told me gave me a glimpse of how wonderful she was. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that she lives through you and your memories. My thoughts and prayers, and those of my family, are with you during these sad times.

To Victor, Tom, Moira, Ann and families,
I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of Betty’s passing..
She was such a fun and lively person to be around. Betty constantly talked about you, your families and your dad Victor.
We volunteered together for many years at the May Court Shop and recently she joined our book club. Betty was in attendance at our book club zoom meeting this past Tuesday.
I will miss Betty and especially miss the times we met for tea in her backyard or for a spontaneous lunch or dinner.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Remembering Betty.

My heart goes out to you, Betty’s Family. I lived on Normandy Gardens for 54 years until last year and have known your Mom for a long time. She was a force to be reckoned with - a very strong and lovely lady. We had many visits at McCormick where my Husband was on the same floor as your Dad. Betty will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. My deepest sympathy. Anne Kershaw

My sincere condolences to Victor, Tom, Ann and Moira. I was fortunate to have known your mother for many years through May Court. We worked together at the Shop, played bridge together and were in Book Club. What a marvellous person, so eager to be of assistance in any endeavour, and lots of fun. She will be greatly missed and especially by me.
