I first met Betty (couldn’t call her that as a teenage) when I met and became best friends(for Life) with her beautiful, caring, dedicated daughter, Leslie. She put up with our overnight sleepovers, ginger ale, tomato sauce and spaghetti for breakfast, watching sky king! Les and I laughing the night away. She was always a lady, stayed that way till the end. Rest in peace.
