   I was saddened to learn that Betty had passed away. My condolences to her family.
   I work at the Dental office that Betty came to and came to realize she was also a neighbor. Betty was a beautiful person inside and out and I always looked forward to seeing her!  She is missed!!

Unfortunately I am just now learning of Betty's passing.  My condolences to the entire family.  I am Cindy Carlson, granddaughter of Astrid and Carl Carlson of Seattle; daughter of Carl and Charmaine Carlson.   While living away from the  Seattle area most of my life, I do fondly remember visiting Betty, Bert, Linda, Julie, and Gary when my family traveled back to my birthplace occasionally.   Betty was such a kind and giving person; gracious in manner and spirit.  I especially remember her fondness for cats and her work with the feral population in Seattle.   My family has been made aware of Betty's demise.  Again, our sympathies go out to you all.

I will always remember Betty for her kindness and her love for cats.  As soon as she found out that I was a cat lover myself we hit it off.  My heart goes out to the Linmark family.  Now Betty is with Bert, the love of her life. Rest In Peace Betty. You will be remembered and missed.  Thank you for caring.
