Betty and I worked for many years in the Croppers Deli. There were four of us near the same age and we used to laugh as well as work together. Betty was a very diligent worker. She would make my Italian Hoagie just the way I liked it. I will not be able to attend the services, but wanted to extend my sympathy and prayers to Dan and all Betty's loved ones. Regards, Phyllis
