I knew her as "Miss Betty", the perfect partner of Dr. D. He always joked that he knew he had to work if Miss Betty had a brown bag lunch ready for him on the table. Miss Betty brightened up every room. She was stylish, elegant, warm, thoughtful, sweet with a touch of mischief. I always think of both of them when I see her gift to us when our son was born. ACH Cardiology was blessed for being included in the lives of Dr. D and Miss Betty. Heartfelt prayers for the family.

The smile says it all; so kind, so respectful of others, so generous with her compliments. The world needs more Bettys.
