My deepest sympathy for Betty's family. I first met Betty playing Mah Jongg at Scott AFB in 1994! We then reconnected in 2006. She was a wonderful woman who always had a kind word.

I am so sorry to hear that Betty passed away. She was such a wonderful lady and I loved playing Mahjongg with her each week before I moved. I have thought about her frequently and still miss our Mahjogg days.
