Bette, it was a pleasure to be able to reconnect with you so many years after high school graduation. One good thing that came out of the COVID years. Your messages still made me laugh. Such an ironic sense of humour. Rest in Peace.

Bette and I attended the same elementary and high schools, and hung out together with a couple of other friends, Elaine and Marlene, for awhile. When we were around12–13 years old, we decided to become a younger female version of the Beatles and would play their tunes, lip-syncing and dancing around the "basement stage." That in itself was cringeworthy laughable, but after figuring out who was who( to this day I can't remember who was John, George, Paul, or Ringo) we decided to pin a full face photo of the Beatle we were to the top of our heads so when we took a bow, everyone would know who we represented...you can't make this stuff up!

To Bette's family and dear friends, my sincerest condolences. And to Bette, may you rest in peace.

So sorry to see you go Bette. So many great memories; spending summers together, going to concerts, suntanning with baby oil and sun reflectors...just to mention a few. Always filled with laughter and joy. You will be sadly missed.

Love and kisses,

Louise
