August 19, 2005 She always made me feel part of the family. I know she loved the Griffin children, and helped them in many ways. She will we missed, but never forgotten..... Sheila Ellis (Livingston, LA )

August 15, 2005 On behalf of Betty's distant Oregon cousins, we send our thoughts and prayers for the family. Betty and I had corresponded over the years regarding our geneaology. She gave me valuable information. Her father and my grandfather were brothers. I came back to Louisiana two years ago and finally was able to meet her. We had a wonderful visit and have talked on phone since. I know she will be missed. The Oregon Roe family Geraldine Roe (Salem, OR ) gramroe@juno.com

August 15, 2005 I was saddened to hear of Betty's death. Although I had not seen her in more than 30 years, she was often in my thoughts. Her early research into our common Roe ancestry has been invaluable to me in researching my own roots. My condolences to her children and their families.
