Still remember our badminton days with fondness, the fun and laughs at the YMCA on a Friday night.......grateful for that era and all that you contributed. Cheers and Love Mrs Cole. Condolences and Strength to you Ron, Alison, Rebecca and Thomas

Thinking of you all at this time of losing Betty. She was such a supporter of your sporting endeavours. I remember when she was a staunch member of the YMCA badminton club - I'm sure she had positions of president / coach. With much sumpathy Valda Walsh East End SLSC

My sympathies to you all, Ron, Alison, Rebecca and Thomas, in the loss of one of your Bettys. Though not unexpected, given the recent decline in Mum's health, it nevertheless calls for a significant adjustment as well as plain hard work. My love to ýou and to your other Betty.

To Ron, Alison, Rebecca and Thomas. Betty held music classes at her home with Rebecca and then Thomas when they and our boys were toddlers. She was so welcoming and kind, and it always followed up with a delicious morning tea. It was fun and appreciated by us all. Our heartfelt sympathy to all her family at this time.

Betty was the kindest and most caring lady. You will be very missed. love Jill Hill

I did not have the privilege of being acquainted with Mrs Cole, but i am acquainted with Ron and Alison. I know how sad it is to lose a mother - life is never quite as it has been. Mothers, who in the main, form the character and personality of those who come after are the true architects of a civilised society. Rob Sorley
