Condolences to the Family

Betty was a wonderful friend to many. I met her through her knowing my mother Shirley Diffenderfer. They got to know each other at the Arch Street Center, and spent many times together visiting our home. She was a joy to be around. A lot of Betty’s friends called her "Little Betty" because she was so short. Sometimes she would stay late at our home and I would give her a ride home to avoid the long walk. She had many friends, and loved her family. Betty will always be remembered by a lot, and most of all she will be greatly missed. God Bless you my friend. My thoughts and Prayers to the family.

I’M VERY SORROW FOR YOUR LOST. MY PRAYER’S FOR YOUR STRENGTH AT THIS SPECIAL  TIME. THE LORD PEACE WILL GET YOU THRU IS DIFFICULT TIME. I HAVE MANY GOOD MEMORIALS OF BETTY. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU.
