If you go to the Funeral Home site you can find a picture of Betty there and the name of a surviving sister to including in your condolences. There is a bit of additional information also. I will attempt a cultural send of from Clovis CA even though I am about as far away from home country as can be. This morning I was approached by a hawk which reminds me that HP always attends my cares. (((((Betty K)))))
Thanks (((((Jerry)))) I saw that....She had the most beeeeutiful smile....Peter has been so sweet to write to me and let me know "whats up" we FINALLY figured out the meal after the service, I was close, but her niece had a slightly better idea....so things are moving forward smoothly...What a nice guy Peter is...I told him he had the BESTEST in girlfriends...I shared with him some memories I had of Betty and he enjoyed them.....
Betty really relished her life. I am so glad she had a devoted partner
I was very lucky to know her
My finances are all off right now and I am treading a lot of water to.keep up with Bill's
Nevertheless I know we are all there in spirit to say goodbye
I am sure it is a great shock to her family
We will really miss her devotion to this group .
Now we have to make her proud

Tom: they just have her picture and brief description of service...NO book as yet to sign condolences....I just looked and Temple is spot on....click on death notices at the top....I'm hoping they will provide a "book" for us long distancers to sign and give our love to Betty..Let her family know she has LOTS of folks who love her
Practice the PAUSE...Pause before judging. Pause before assuming. Pause before accusing. Pause whenever you are about to react harshly and you will avoid doing and saying things you will later regret. ~~~~ Lori Deschene

I think we have left lots of condolences here.
Betty told me she went to a lot of meetings in New York. Remember how Betty was always talking about the need for face to face. She went to a lot of meetings. I have no doubt it is all over New York
When my friend bv died unexpectedly I missed it. I did not get a chance to go to the funeral
I had to look process it on my own. My therapist told me that I needed to find out exactly what happened. I didn't .
Saying goodbye to someone like Betty takes time
Give yourself that time
Betty was #there# for a lot of people when they were down. For me she was extremely patient and kind
So now be like Betty with yourself. Be kind be patient be loving be attentive. Be non judgmental be all the things she was for all of us
I have no doubt the memorial was jammed to the rafters. I have no doubt there are flowers all over Betty's beautiful apartment. I also have no.doubt that her family know Betty was universally loved and respected
