We would like to extend to all of Bette's family our sincere condolences for their loss. We have had the pleasure of being with Bette and Irene's cousins on many happy family occasions with Irene and Jay and family. We will always keep those memories in our hearts and her family in our prayers. May she rest in piece. She was a great role model and a fun person to be with. Anne and Peter
