I would like to extend my sincere sympathies to Betty†™s family, and to Sam, her steadfast friend who faithfully visited her at the Adams Centre. I first met Betty when my father was admitted to the centre a number of months ago. I took great delight in stopping to say hello to her whenever I visited my dad. She had the loveliest smile, and I was always greeted with warmth and curiosity. When my father became bedridden, Betty once or twice stepped quietly into his room, and then, tilting her head and with a barely audible †˜tisk, tisk,†� expressed her sympathy. I will miss seeing her familiar face. And I will miss seeing her walking along with Sam, arms linked, face lit with that wonderful smile. May all of you find strength and comfort in your memories of Betty.
