I am so sorry for your loss! I just saw this now. I was thinking of Betty the other day, watching a performance on youtube of Detroit Symphony doing Carmina Burana. We sang together in the Park Ridge Civic Orchestra Volunteer Chorus. Betty said we were singing partners in our Alto section. Betty always sent me a Christmas card every year, even years I didn’t get mine out! What a lovely lady and my cohort years ago. We missed our times in that Chorus and performing on the Pickwick stage. I will treasure my memories of kind and fun Betty!

Betty and I became fast friends when we started singing in the St. Paul of the Cross Choir back the late 1990's. So sorry for your loss.
