Dear Suzanne, Eric, Keith, and family, <br>I am very sad to hear of your loss and will miss "Auntie Betty" (my Dad would sometimes call her "Sister Betty"). She and my Dad were very close, he confided regularly to her on the phone. She was very kind to me, sending me notes commiserating on my difficulties and always wishing me the best outcome. I am glad she came to visit us, and that I was able to visit New York. I regret that I am unable to attend the memorial, I send my deepest condolences and will think of you at this most difficult time. Please stay in touch & I will always remember Aunt Betty fondly. <br> <br>Love from <br>Cousin Charlene

I give my condolences to Eric and Suzanne for the loss of their mother Betty. As the husband of Suzanne, I have had the special pleasure of knowing Betty for the last fifteen years. Betty was always gracious to me, thoughtful and loving toward me. Betty was a person who enjoyed talking about politics, art, music, books, and cultural issues. I appreciated the social wit of her endless pads of delicate little satirical caricatures featuring American celebrities, political figures, and occasionally her self. I always enjoyed her ability to play that slightly out of tune upright piano at the apartment. From a huge stack of songbooks on loan from the Delmar library we would share insights and lyrics from some of our mutual Tin Pan Alley favorites, such as Let A Smile Be Your Umbrella (On a Rainy Day). Betty was a breath of fresh air in my life. She always had me thinking differently about things. I will never forget her kind soft voice and a certain profound, knowing look in her eyes. I used to say to her that I loved her—and then she would blush and start to laugh, softly. I will really miss Betty. She was a mighty fine lady and a mother in law dear to my heart.

Though I knew her only through her daughter Suzanne's photographs and one family snapshot Suzanne recently shared with me of Betty holding her as a plump happy baby, I know she must have been a very dear and unique lady. Rest and peace from her arduous corporal existence was sealed with her children at her side.

Dear Eric and Suzanne, <br>We are sorry to learn of your mother's death. We were neighbors at Kensington Court. Because Ed and I suffer from chemical sensitivity, we could commensurate with Betty. What was wonderful about her was her sense of humor. She could find some comic relief in life's ironies. She also demanded changes which helped protect all of us from toxic substances and increased awareness of the harmful impact. Betty loved and cherished both of you and valued her family. She was a unique person. Sincerely, Betty and Ed Kurtik
