Betty & I had nothing in common on the outside – but so much in common on the inside. How she could empathize & relate! What a good friend she was! I loved her dearly & will miss her immensely, but know she is in a far better place. My heart goes out to Oliver,
Brenda, Linda, Kelley, Savannah,and all her grandchilren,and her very good friend Jean.
Love,
Pat
