Dear Malcolm and your wonderful family
Betty was a very warm and loving lady. I have only known her through the Caledon East United Church and her involvement with the UCW but during the summer months, when there is no choir, I would sit in the congregation in the pew ahead of Mal and Betty and I loved hearing Betty harmonize with all the hymns. Unfortunately I think that ceased to happen even last summer but I really missed her lovely voice and her constant smiling face.
You have been a very busy lady for many years, teaching, singing, playing the piano, being a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. It is now time to Rest in Peace, Betty
God Bless you and your family

I have many fond memories of Betty, especially with the United Church Women where she was President for a few years, and pianist for many years. Betty was always willing to help whenever or wherever she could. I will always remember her many talents especially her handiwork and music. My deepest sympathy to Mal and all of the family. She loved talking about all of you as she was so proud of your accomplishments. She will be missed.

Mal and family,
I considered Betty a dear friend and will miss her.
I always enjoyed our times together especially driving her home from UCW.

Our family had the privilege of having Mal & Betty as our next door neighbors in Caledon East for 28 years. I was very saddened to hear of Betty’s recent passing. She was a kind, gentle soul who loved to share her stories about her family and grandchildren with me. At Christmas Betty would bring over gifts for my daughters that she lovingly made for our tree and we will think of her when these decorations hang on our tree. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mal and family at this time.

Mal and Family,
I have wonderful memories of Mrs. McPherson as a next door neighbour and as my piano teacher for many years. As a child growing up, we had our weekly chat and time spent at the piano during lessons that I will cherish. In later years, when visiting Caledon East, I often got the chance to catch up on the latest family news. She was a woman that was very proud of her family, and delighted in telling the latest news about her children and grandchildren. I have thought of her often when I have time to play at the piano. I cannot be there for the service, but will be thinking of you all. God bless.

Dear Malcolm and family
As long time friends through the Caledon Concert Band we extend our heart felt sympathy and condolences to you.
Harald, Elizabeth and Martina Sagermann.

Dear Malcolm and family, Betty is fondly remembered and greatly missed, not only for her cheerful presence at countless Caledon Band events, but for her great kindness to our family. Rob and Saundra Kinnear

Dear Malcolm and family,

I am so sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. Your love and life together was a legacy for your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I always loved hearing about your story and your family at band with Malcolm.

You will surely be missed, but it is certain that heaven has gained a talented musician for its choir of angels. She will always be with you.

My sincerest condolences,

Stephanie Noris Lattanzio and Family

To dear Mal and your family,

I was so sorry to hear that Betty had passed away. I always enjoyed our chats when I stopped by for a visit at your home in Caledon East, and hearing Betty’s beautiful alto voice behind me in church when I sat in the congregation at CEUC. Please accept my heartfelt condolences!

Mal and family, Our condolences to you and the family. She was a great help to the girl guides and will be missed by all. Our thoughts are with you. RIP Betty.

So very sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. During our short membership at Caledon East UC we always enjoyed our chats with Betty and Mal. She will be missed.

Dear Mal and Family,

I was saddened to learn about Betty’s passing. I enjoyed chatting with her and you Mal while I waited for Sunday church service to begin. Her sweet smile is fondly remembered. Her handiwork was impressive and something to be admired. Wishing you and your family comfort during this time of loss. And wishing Betty peace in her new home.

My deepest condolances,
Cathy Pley

Our condolences to you and your family Mal.
As neighbors on Larry Street we would cross paths many times at the mailbox.
0f course, we also remember the many ways both you and Betty were involved with the United Church.

I am truly sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the son McPherson family find comfort and strength in Jesus promise along with our heavenly father Jehovah of the earthly resurrection, where death will be eliminated forever. Truly, what a glorious and almost unbelievable day that will be! It’s a reality though for God cannot lie!

My condolences to Mal and family. I have wonderful childhood memories with all the neighbors growing up on our street. May your family find comfort in all the shared memories.

Dear McPherson Clan
I am very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I have countless memories as a kid, hanging out with Betty Ann, spending time around the pool or coming to Betty to ask for help to get the leeches off from Kovacs pond. It was a very loving and inspiring home. Betty’s patience trying to teach me how to play the piano, were to say the least amazing. A smoke in one hand and the metronome keeping beat above the keys. She always knew when i hadn’t practiced. I’ll always remember her wonderful laugh and sense of humour. Our paths crossed, once again, very recently and for that I am grateful. Love to all.

Dear Mal: I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Betty was a wonderful person and a musician whose piano playing touched many lives, especially at Caledon East Public School. Being a musician yourself, you must soldier on (keep playing the clarinet). I can just imagine Betty looking down and tapping her foot to your tune. Terry Christian
