To Betty's family.
I wanted to acknowledge Betty's passing with warm memories and respect. I met Betty in 1976, when she worked for Judge John F. Clair, Jr. at the Lake County Courthouse and I was seeking employment as an Official Court Reporter, eager to begin a new career at that time. Betty was very fair and patient with me, conferred with the Judge and coworkers, and I know she was very supportive in suggesting that I be given an opportunity to fill a vacant position at the time, after a trial period of doing freelance reporting for the Court. We became coworkers and friends over the next four years. I always remembered Betty very fondly, and for being an excellent secretary. My deepest condolences for your loss!
Saddened to hear of Betty's passing. She was a beautiful lady, a beautiful person. I don't think any of the other moms would have allowed us boys to stockpile “borrowed” pumpkins in their backyard. My sincere condolences to the family.
