To Bette's Family: I am so sorry to hear of Bette's passing. I was at St. Aidan's for about 8 years until a few years ago. During my time there, I had the happy privilege of working with Bette while on the church's Altar Guild, several church committees, as well as helping set up the church for various church services and events. She was an absolute delight to know and always so friendly and interested in each and every person she was sharing her time with. Bette was one of those rare people you don't--and won't--ever forget.

With the fondest of memories of Bette,

Lynne Ormrod

To Ken, Gord, Steve and Families:

Our very deepest sympathies on the passing of your Mom. Betty was certainly the epitome of a lovely lady. We were friendly acquaintances over many, many years and never without a good laugh or chuckle. My last memory of Betty was at the Fox Theatre wearing a jaunty red sequined tam looking like a million dollars as she always did.
I am happy for this picture, I will carry of her.
God bless to all of you.
In friendship, with love.

Sending sincere condolences to all the family. Betty was a gentle human being. Loved working with her treated me like a daughter. She was respectful of all she worked with. Rest in peace my dear friend. I am sure you are wearing a cap and uniform. Thoughts and prayers for all family members.
