I took care of Bette for over a year at the assisted living facility! She was a complete joy and could always make me smile or laugh no matter what kind of day I was having. Bette and I could just sit and talk all day if we were able to. Every Thursday I was the one she was calling to make her bed and clean her room. She truly became a part of my life and my heart! She will always always have a spot there! Will miss her dearly!
