We are so sorry for your loss. Betty was so much fun to bowl with. I never achieved the high standards required to be on her team but I was able to bowl in the same league. She had a wonderful and delightful sence of humor. Her absence at the bowling alley was felt by many, including me. My one regret is that work, family & other responsibilities left little time for keeping up friendships. You are all in our prayers.

I wish the distance wasn't so great. Will be thinking of each one of you tomorrow. Aunt Betty was always smiling and there was so much laughter when we came to visit. Too much time has passed but she has always held a special place in my heart. Ruthann, Jim and Joyce we are praying for each of you and the grandkids during this tough time.

Please accept our heartfelt sorrow for the loss of your mother and grandmother. Aunt Betty was a wonderful, loving woman whom I enjoyed listening to tell stories about my pap and growing up together. She had a remarkable sense of humor that will be sorely missed. While Aunt Betty was the last of a generation of Berger's, the bond that she and her brothers and sister established to bring our families together remains strong despite the miles between us. May you know that we are praying for you and Aunt Betty. God bless all, David Hannan and family.
