My condolences to her family.
We still remembering her every single day and missing her calls during my shifts in the morning. Betty was one of the most lovely people I've met in NZ. It was a pleasure to take care of her in Chatswood during my 1,5y working there.
Descanso em paz (Rest in peace)

Dear Bronwyn and family,
Was sad to hear that Betty had died. I had'nt seen her for some time - but have such wonderful, warm memories of Betty. I first met her and Lyndsay many years ago and Betty was always so kind to us and she became a friend to many of us.She was a beautiful, caring woman and was able to display such empathy. Again, Bronwyn, please accept my deepest sympathy and prayers on the loss of your lovely Mum. Geraldine (Geri) Chunn
