Never easy saying good bye. Thoughts to Mr Creese (teacher and marching band leader) and to Tory from way back in high school days.
— Ruth Mather Halford, November 16, 2021103 years of life is quite remarkable, as was Betty. She was an important part of the community of St. Theodore of Canterbury for many years, and was always a supporter of its many activities. She also was always smiling! Our condolences to the entire family.

I remember Betty as such a warm and loving person. I always enjoyed spending bits of time with her on Inez Court in Willowdale and at Girl Guide functions over the years. Thinking of you all.
