I am so sorry for your loss. Betty was my grandmother's roommate for a time at Woodland Oaks (Vivian McCall) and we just loved Betty so much. She was a Godsend to us and to my grandmother! She watched over her like a mother hen and always made sure she didn't try to get out of the bed and calmed her fears at night when she was confused. We hugged her goodbye the day my grandmother was discharged and she said she hoped to see us again someday and we will.... in Heaven. We love you Miss Betty.
