Thank you Bette fot the impact you had on my life.... I will never forget your crazy, wild self! Most of all thank you for being such a wonderful friend to my mom. I know that you were there for a very important time in her life and I am glad for it. From watching all of the good and bad I saw the two of you share together I know what it means to have a true friend. Because of that I will always hold my true friends dear. Thank you Bette.
