As a childhhood friend of Betty Ann Osgood’s, I frequently visited their home near Centerville, often spending the night. I remember Mrs. Affleck as a warm and caring Mom, who always made me feel very welcome.
Betty – I just learned of your Mom’s passing from our mutual friend Sally. I am so sorry for your loss. My Mom passed away in 2000 at the age of 96. I have a vague memory of going to your birthday party when we were in 2nd grade – with a couple of chicken pox and my Mom said no one would notice-they were behind my ear! I must have given it to everyone there! My brother’s memorial and guest book is also on this site.
Betty and Family, I’m so sorry for your loss… I rember when she would walk to AAA and appear in the lobby have a little rest and be on her way. Just taking a little walk… Fondly, Bonnie
Betty Sorry for you loss, she in better place now, my god bless
Betty, Sorry to hear of your loss. We have you in our thoughts. She looks like a lovely woman as are you. All the best. Sal
Dorothy was on Ramage 4 with my parents, Robert and Helen Smith. I visited with her whenever she was in the hall. Over the past couple of weeks she seemed very distressed and I tried to calm her down. She smiled alot at me and thanked me. What a nice lady. I will miss seeing her.
My daughter, Deanna, and I will also miss seeing Dorothy’s smiling face on Ramage 4 when we visit my parents, Robert and Helen Smith. Many times she would talk quietly with my daughter and smile. What a wonderful woman. We will miss her!
