Betty's daughters would like to acknowledge and give  thanks to Betty's special friends and neighbors Phyllis Doran White and Jan Pluskwa for all  the love and care they have given to BJ over the years.

A memorial service will be scheduled in Maryland at a later date. It was Betty's request that in lieu of flowers, a contribution be made in her memory to the charity of your choice.
