She was smart, full of vigor within a deteriorating physical temple. We differed on God and many other things insignificant, sharing a love together within the mysteries of life, friendship, and the Universe.
She was warm and kind, although suffering with poor eyesight and hearing but enjoying an enormous intellect and mind, although constricted by her inability to move freely and express her insights fully.
Here for 93 years and gone in one second; the dichotomy staggering. Yet, it was her time and not mine or the others who will always love her.
She loved fully on large things and small, like a ride in a Rolls Royce convertible on warm and not-so-warm days, bets paid out with franks at Costco, shots of Harvey Bristol Cream, and debates on timely topics. She had a point of view, backed by facts and backed off to no one.
To credit her son and family, she lived her later years in comfort with enormous expressions of love until she left, peacefully and without pain.
Bye-bye, Betty. You decided; I support your decision but don’t have to like your choice.
Like the others who love you, I am selfishly disappointed. My tears are for me, my loss, with joy in my heart for your successful escape. Thanks for “just” being . . . and for being my friend.
