Our very best to Dick and family. Betty has always been special to our family and a great neighbor for over 55 years. We had a lovely talk with her this summer after selling mom's house. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

It is with sadness that we hear of the passing of our neighbor and friend Betty Verus. Her routines will be hard to replace. Bettys zest for life was an inspiration to all. We wish to extend our deepest condolences to her entire family.
