In addition our condolences, I need to express not only my sympathies but also how special Betty was and in her way as she has touched the lives of so many in a most positive way. In my case, putting me in my place as a %uFFFDcocky%uFFFD lieutenant on our very first encounter in the orderly room, to helping me grow as a Captain and setting me up on a blind date with her best friend%uFFFD%uFFFDs daughter Guelda, my soulmate, to influencing my approach to people and my CO as a new Major and to share daily her experience, wisdom, empathy and kindness to support me as the CO from 2002-2004 for the benefit and well-being of the wolf pack, I owe her eternal gratitude. Betty%uFFFDs actions and thoughts were always about helping others%uFFFD.to the end. Dance with the Angels in Peace dear friend.
