Betty, I have lovely memories of my time with you in Colac, especially around your organ as you shared the music you loved. I have read the many tributes to you and my heart smiles knowing that you would be so surprised at how you have touched so many lives. You were so unassuming about your many gifts and most of all about the wonderful woman you were. It's true Betty, you lived a rich and full life and inspired many of us in the way you lived it all.
Thank you Betty. My love and prayers are with you Bernadette, Paul, Gerri, Lu, John and all Betty's family,
