"I was so sad to hear of Betty's passing, I had so many great times with Billy when we were in High School, going to his home. His parents always made everyone feel welcome and were so much fun. It lifted me up to see Betty a few years ago in Mesa. She'd not changed a bit and was still that fun, vivacious lady, so happy to see me. My heart goes out to Wayne, Marci and family for their loss. I loved her too."
