Kim and I both had Moms the same age, that went by the name “Betty.” I lost mine two years earlier. Both Bettys were outgoing with a great sense of humor. I was lucky to visit Betty Pelletier just a month before her passing. She was still sharp and with beautiful hair. She loved her dog, Ricky. I want to convey my condolences to the family.
