"Dear Karen, Chris, Michelle and family, Through Betty, you?ve been part of my enlarged family, whether you were aware or not. We shared much, the two of us. I know you?ll agree with me that Betty was an angel, with a beautiful soul. As a friend, I couldn?t have asked for better. Always loving, non-judgmental and such fun to be with. Along with you, I shall miss her painfully. And always be grateful for the time we had together. "
