Condolence: Betty was a lovely and pleasant person who always made me feel welcome at her home. My condolences to the family.

Condolence: To Betty's family, So sorry to hear about your mom and even more sorry that I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to her. I was out of town on the day of her service but I have thought about her so often in the past while. She was a really sweet lady who was loved by all who knew her. She will always be remembered as one of the sweetest teachers ever. Keep her memory in your hearts and she will be with you always. May she rest in peace. Teresa

Condolence: Very sorry to hear of Betty's passing. she was a gentle soul who must have dealt with a lot being a high school teacher. Thoughts are with the family.

Condolence: Dear John, Neil,Joanne and Patti, I was saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. I have many found memories of her. I attribute her as one of the influential teachers to instill my love of reading. In most recent years while she volunteered at the hospital gift shop on Friday evenings, every second Friday when I worked I would always pay a visit for a chat about our favourite things our family, travel and books. She even put me on to a few good thrillers ( a genre I tend to shy away from). Myself and Barry also loved her love of all things Irish. We shared a scuff and a shally with your mom at the Ryan’s annual Paddy’s day parties. Her impish grin and raspy infectious laugh will be remembered fondly Deanne and Barry

Condolence: Dear Joanne, Patti, Neil and John. We are blessed to have met your mom and to have spent time with her during her visit last year. Thinking of you at this sad time. Sending condolences and much love to you all. Wanda and Iain.

Condolence: Patti, My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your Mom. I know that you have many special memories; they will provide you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Your Mom will always hold a special place in your heart and she will forever remain a part of you Thinking of you, Elaine

Condolence: Thinking of all of you as you remember and honour your mom over these few days-I know the gatherings of people who loved her will buoy you as you share happy memories through the sadness. I cherish our summer visits over the last 5 years-Aunt Betty was funny, wise and humble. We had great day trips and enjoyed meals and chats. I will be watching 'Vera' tomorrow morning in her honour-and appreciating the blessing of having had her in my life.

Condolence: I knew Betty all my life as we shared a common Aunt and Uncle in John & Nell Moriarty.This Biblical verse applies to Betty " Surely goodness and kindness followed her all the days of her life and now she lives in the House of the Lord forever." Deepest sympathy on your loss. Dennis BROWNE

Condolence: Dear John and Neil, You and your sisters are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of grief. I know how painful it is to lose a parent whatever their age or health and whatever the age of the "child." Your mom lives on in each of you.Take comfort in this time of coming together and sharing family memories. Hugs.

Condolence: To the family, My condolences on hearing of Betty's passing. Betty and I were classmates at MSVU. We shared many a laugh at the time but the best ones were when she returned to Halifax for our 50th anniversary and we relived the years we spent there. I have wonderful memories of her and sincerely hope your good memories are a support during this time. Odette

Condolence: I was so very saddened to hear of Mrs. McHugh's passing. She was one of my favorite teachers in high school and I have been lucky enough throughout the years,to still be able to see her and have a chat. During our chats, I would always call her Mrs. McHugh, and countless times she would give me a stern look and say, "Bernadette! It's Betty. Call me Betty." but I told her I couldn't, it just didn't seem right. I have a picture on my phone that I had taken of (some) of our regular morning "coffee crowd" on August 23rd and sadly, that was the last time that I had seen her. I thought of her often and just last week had sent a card to wish her well. I hope she knew how respected she was by myself, and by many others. She is already missed. May God bless you all in the days to come. Bernadette

Condolence: John, Neil, Joanne and Patti our sincere condolences on the passing of your wonderful Mother and my fabulous Aunt. Your Mom was in my life ever since my High School days at St. Mikes. She helped me with my math and a few other courses. Aunt Betty was truly an amazing individual and she will be fondly remembered in our hearts and family gatherings forever. Sherrie and I had a wonderful visit with Aunt Betty, this past July along with Patti and Charlie. It was at 6 West Street B&B and we had a great time reminiscing . RIP Aunt Betty

Condolence: To Neil and family, Sorry to hear of your moms massing. My deepest condolences, Annie Wiseman

Condolence: John, Neil, Patricia and Joanne and Families, Please accept my sincere condolences on your mom's passing. She was a kind and gentle lady and we were friends for many years. May the support of family and friends and God's unfailing love comfort you now and in the days and months ahead.

Condolence: Forgive me,I meant to write: "Your Dad's solo of Tristesse" by Chopin. It is very important that I don't leave the name of the solo out, because it is such a beautiful piece of music!! Sincerely, Frank.

Condolence: To all the McHugh family. Please accept my deepest sympathy on your Mom's passing. She was a very dynamic intelligent and fun loving (to say the least),woman, and I really enjoyed hearing from her last year, and of course seeing her when I came to see your Dad years ago. They sent me a wonderful Xmas Card a number of years ago, from the GF Heritage Collection, a few years before your Dad died, of GF in the 40ties ,which I treasure, and always have on my desk. My Dad took your parents' official wedding photographs after Eric had asked him,because your Dad played in the B Coy Royal NL Regiment Garrison Band, which my Dad directed, and I played in as well. That's how I got to know Eric, and then your Mom in the early 1960ies. I remember sending your Mother the tape of your Dad's solo of by Chopin, lo those many years ago,on a B Coy band concert recording by CBC, and I know your Mother treasured it and played at his wake. Eric played very well on it I might add and I always loved it. Honestly, every time I hear that piece now, I think of them both. Last year I heard a great version of it on youtube ,so sent it along again for old time's sake and your Mother graciously thank ed me again, and we had a nice chat and a reminiscence about it all. I always liked your Mom's candid way because she always spoke honestly and with great feeling. If I lived in GF I would attend her funeral, but alas I don't, so I respectfully send my sincere condolences. Your parents were good salt of the earth people who loved you all dearly and did their best for you. I was touched by your family pictures and the love you all had for each other ,which shines through so beautifully! I was proud to know them both. May God Bless you all in your hour of sorrow and May God Love your dear Mother, as much as you did! Sincerely, Frank.

Condolence: Sending condolences to Betty's children and the rest of the family. I was so sorry to hear that she was sick. She was such a lovely person to grow up with and I have so many happy memories spent with her on Beaumont Avenue. RIP dear Betty.

Condolence: Please accept my sympathy for your the loss of your mother Betty Delaney McHugh. I spent two years with her at the « Mount » and delighted whenever I saw her in Grand Falls when visiting Bryan and Vera Blackmore and my parents Mike and Laura Blackmore when they were living. Betty always glowed when she greeted you. She always had that enthusiastic love for other people. May she continue to shine through in your lives with her eternal presence. Anne Blackmore Moynihan.

Condolence: John, Neil, Patricia and Joanne, Your Mom thought the world of you, and would only want you to feel her love and peacefulness now. She was an amazing lady who showed so much kindness. I will always remember how good she was to family over the years. She enjoyed her time as well with friends. God bless your wonderful Mom/ sweet Aunt Betty! Love and hugs, Brenda and Brian

Condolence: I was a classmate of Betty’s at Mount St. Vincent College as it then was. I hadn’t seen her for years until she came to our 50th reunion a couple of years ago.

Condolence: John, Neil, Joanne and Patti, condolences on the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful lady and we will remember her fondly. Doug often talks about the younger years and the shenanigans that went all at your house (shed). Many a story has been shared over our years together. He always spoke lovingly about your Mom and Dad. We loved to see your mom drive into our place with your dad grinning in the passenger seat. She'd honk the horn until one of us would come out to chat! One time we even got them out of the car and onto our patio for a big bbq scoff and a cold drink. It was a glorious day and a memory we can both hold in our hearts. God bless you and your families as you send your beautiful mother into the arms of your dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you today and in the upcoming days as you say adieu. Have peace knowing she raised you all to be fine human beings who are kind, fun, and gifted in many ways. The Braggs, Doug, Kelly, Jenna and Jordan xo
