Not sure what to say?

To the family of Bette Okawa,
I offer my belated condolences to you from the Class of 1971 Lindblom High School. We hope that the spirit that made Bette special and unique to her family and friends will remain in your hearts always.

I worked with Bette at Continental Bank. She was always willing to help you out on a problem, and I learned alot about how to do my job better from her. Not to mention she was fun to work with. My condolences to her family.

My deepest sympathies. Bette was a truly wonderful person, always smiling. I had the great pleasure of knowing her; American National Bank and FirstChicago. Intelligent, hard-working; someone you could always go to for answers.

My prayers are with the family.

Bette was always a delight to be around. I am sorry to her of her passing.

Bette was one of those special people who made the Continental Bank such a unique family. She gave of herself freely and I count myself among those who were blessed to have walked a few steps with her.

My prayers are with the family as we honor the life of a truly one-of-a-kind spirit.

Sorry to hear of Bette's passing. We had alot of good times back in the hay days of Continental bank and spent many of evening enjoying the company of having Bette join the gang for a night out. My deepest sympathies to the children who have lost a wonderful Aunt. My prayers are with you.

I still remember our conversations when Bette worked in Operations back at Continental Bank. The battery-operated pencil sharpener she gave me when I completed the training program sits on my desk, a reminder of a warm and generous person.

My condolences to Bette's family who will miss another wonderful family member.

I am glad to have known Bette while we worked together, she was a delight to have around.

I am very sorry to hear about Bette's passing. We were friends for many years but had lost touch. She was always so much fun to be with and a truly independent woman.
