We would like to extend our sincere condolences to the Williams family. We had hoped to express our sympathy in person at tonight's wake, but the stormy weather has prevented that. Bette was a real lady, and a lovely person. We felt fortunate to have known her.

I worked with Bette at Lynnfield Town Hall. We had such a wonderful time together, enjoyed so may laughs over all the crazy things. She had the best sense of humor. She was truly "a lady" in every sense of the word, and I loved her, she will remain in my thoughts and prayers always. My deepest sympathy to her family and especially to Max. Much love to all, Maureen Lanpher

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Bette for a few years at the Lynnfield Town Hall.
Bette was a wonderful woman with a big heart and great sense of humor. She always looked like she just stepped out of a fashion magazine. She was truly a lady...who will be greatly missed by all.

My deepest sympathy to all,
Sincerely,
