Dear Rosemary and Liz, I am so saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend Betty. She has always been very special to me, especially during my years living next door. I remember the day that she named Ringo, like it was yesterday. I remember her telling me how she would cook chicken breasts for Duncan because he was her baby. I can close my eyes and relive our many times spent together gabbing about this and that. I loved the holidays when she would send over a plate of her Christmas cookies. I can still see her standing on the front porch, waving to me. I'll keep her forever in my heart. I loved her.
