    Betty Boop was my best buddy. We clicked the day we met. We could talk to each other about anything. And we gossiped a lot too. She was the best friend I’ve ever had or will have. We got into so much mischief together. And boy did she like to shop. We both loved Bob Seger and would jam to it in that big suv she had. Side note,she couldn’t park that big thing. Lots of laughs getting in a parking spot. Never a dull moment with her. She was always so giving. Best cook around. I will miss her apple cake. And miss all her wise cracks. She loved her family so much. I’m sure going to miss seeing her. And her calls and text. She is enjoying her new home in Heaven now. Love you my sweet Betty Boop.
