I was thinking about Betty and am just learning that she has joined Corliss as a heavenly angel.

My heart is very heavy as I remember her. Betty was an "encourager" for me.  She encouraged me to run for the Michigan Capital Girl Scouts board of directors,  and to become its Board President, she then encouraged me to help her with the national "Scouts on Survival Program" and train the attendees from around the country in skill development and teamwork, and she encouraged me to allow her to nominate me for the  National Board of GSUSA, where I   served for  9 years.

 She also encouraged me to join Peoples Church and introduced me to Dr. Murdock who, like I, had attended Furman University. 

 In so many ways, Betty added joy, opportunity, and fun to my life. Her legacy is rich and significant in terms of service to others. May her family hold fast and cherish her rich heritage of giving to others.

 You have my deepest sympathy for your loss of Betty and her beloved Corliss!
