We are indeed sorry to have lost a dear friends for so many years. Betty was a very special person, whose main concern was the health and welfare of her many friends, not the many health and related problems she herself endured. Our lives have been enriched for many years by knowing and being friends with Betty and this will continue to all of us. Our sincere sympathy and Blessings to her fine family.

To Martin and family,
 
I just heard of Betty's passing and I wanted to express my condolences.  I am a son of Helen and Archie Ross and I have memories
as a kid of many family occasions where I met Betty and Martin.  One of my cousins in Grand Rapids sent me the information today.  I live
in Atlanta, Georgia.
 
With fond memories from the Ross family,
 
Sincerely,
 
Donald L. Ross
