Betty, my heart still bleeds!!
My dear friend, where do I start? You were more than a friend to me, we were more like sisters. I can remember when I first
met you all those years ago in FUT, we were both teenagers. You were so full of life, so energetic, so beautiful. Your strength
of character is one of the things I admired so much about you. Up till the end you were still so brave, so strong. you fought
the battle with so much dignity and optimism. You took each day in your stride, never complaining, always with a smile on
your face. Saturdays are extremely difficult for me now because that was our 'special day'. I always looked forward to your
phone calls where we would gossip and reminisce about the good old days. We would talk for hours about our dreams,joys,
heartbreaks and victories. You honestly taught me what it meant to be a friend always making out time to call me, even when
you were going through so much. I can remember when I first found out about your diagnosis, I was so worried, going to the
hospital with you in Atlanta was especially hard, but because of your positive attitude and bravery I assured myself that everything
was going to be ok. Throughout the time I spent with you, your faith never wavered. You were so close to God, always
praying. Betty dear as I write this tribute I'm so overwhelmed with emotions. I just want to say, thank you for always being
there for me. Thank you for being the best friend anyone could ever wish for.
'I was not ready to say goodbye
Your disease just over took
So on this day we remember you
I take a second look
Our friendship is forever
Until death, did we part
Although your away physically
You're always in my heart'
Rest on my dear friend, till we meet to part no more
