i met Mrs Bettini at Penick Village when she arrived. I fell in love with her immediately! She had the sweetest disposition and loved everyone. She always talked about Curt, Mike and Cathy and "that fat grandbaby". we laughed and enjoyed each ot

Barbara, You and your family are in my prayers. We must now keep the memories even closer in our hearts.
The short time I have been at Penick Mrs. Bettini touched my heart and the heart of the entire Penick Village family as did all of you! We will miss her but her presence will live on in our hearts! Thank you for allowing us the priviledge to know and care
I did not know Mrs Bettini, but she did a great job raising her daughter, Barbara. She was always nice to me and its a reflection on her mother .
