    So sorry to hear of”Bette Blues” passing. Had so many wonderful and fun times with her. She was a room-mate with my mother-in-law at convalesent home in Mount Vernon. It was good to see her then. Many, many great memories of her. Our deepest sympathy to the family. Ron and Sharon Jackson

    I have many fond memories of my cousin Bette. She had such a big heart and always made family get-togethers fun and filled with great food. I hadn’t seen her in so many years but always thought fondly of her and I know my dad, her Uncle Al, loved her too. My thoughts are with all of you.

    Looking back on when I was a little girl camping and playing with Aunt Bette I realized she was so much more than my mothers aunt. She was an extension of my grandfather and so much more. She was the first person to show me fishing (in a pool for kids not lake), taught me how to start a fire and make the best treats over it. Helped me understand that you can still have just as much fun or more splashing in rain puddle as you would running in the sun. I remember all the amazing art supplies you had and watching movies on her tiny old TV. I still chuckle thinking back to one of my sleep overs where she made lots and lots of different desserts from pudding, to cookies, to cakes and told me if I was still hungry afterwards we could have dinner. Dinner was spaghetti by the way and fantastic! I wish I could talk to here more, ask more questions about growing up and what she had experienced in life. She truly was a wonderful, stubborn lady and I will always keep her in my heart.
