Ian and Marion Lamont - Belfast, Northern Ireland:Fondest memories of Aunt Betty, especially during the time she lived in Belfast. She enjoyed the Irish countryside, the green fields, the Mourne Mountains and the holidays by the sea at Newcastle. She enjoyed visiting all her Irish relatives, who also send their sincere condolences. In turn, we greatly enjoyed her company on our visits to Moose Jaw. Betty always found time to keep in touch, by phone and by letters, letting us know what was happening with her family and in Moose Jaw. Now her voice and pen have stopped and she will be sadly missed. Maureen, Steve and Allison, you are in our thoughts. Love from Ian and Marion.
