My Aunt Beta was the sweetest, kindest person you could ever wish to meet. We know she will be greatly missed and we send our deepest sympathy to all those lucky enough to have loved her. I always think of her and smile when I eat lilac/violet candy which she gave me my love of. We know she dances in glory tonight and we are so happy for her. Love Amy & Peter Reimann
I am saddened to hear of Aunt Bertha’s passing; the last of that generation of Galaneks. I will, however, always remember Aunt Bertha’s wonderful gift of being able to recall many events from the past with great detail. We will miss her.
