I know Betty from Annunciation church. Everytime I saw her she was always smiling and ready to help anyone that was in need of help. I will miss her smile and her willingness to pitch in when things needed to be done. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
I was so very saddened to hear the news about Betty. She was such a special lady. So kind, so gentle and yet also so strong. For as long as I can remember, Betty has been a part of our family and she will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to her boys and the rest of the Palermo family. Please know that you are in my thoughts.

We enjoyed our visits with Betty over the years as she was a fixture at our family events and holidays — always happy to see everyone. She was so proud of her family and such a strong, joyful and courageous human being. We are so sorry and share in your loss. May her memory be a blessing to you all.
We will love you forever and it simply won’t be the same without you. Thank you for shaping me into the man that I have become. You were great a Mommy and I was proud to be your son.
Well today is the day we say goodbye to you mom. But I’m gonna just say see you later. Its gonna be hard to walk away today from you because I’m gonna miss you so much. I love you mom.
Dear family of Betty,
I am so sorry to hear of Betty’s loss. She was my son Joshua’s first teacher in the Infant house at Browncroft daycare. All of us loved her and even after 8 years, I think she was one of the most remarkable teachers he’s had. Please accept our condolences. Rest in peace Betty.
