To Betty's Family:
I was so sad to hear of Betty's passing. She was so full of life and fun! In the song "When Irish eyes are smiling"...I believe that Betty was the inspiration-I loved how her eyes sparkled with joy! I will keep her smile in my heart forever. I'm so sorry that I am unable to attend her funeral. You have my deepest sympathy. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
