My best friend, I thank God for the friendship we shared. I will miss you deeply and always will remember the good times that we shared. I thank God for letting you pick up the phone last Friday even though you just said "I am in the hospital in bad shape" I called back on Saturday and told you that I love you, and you said "I love you too Betty." I will always cherish those last words that you said to me. I already miss you,the laughter and secrets that we shared.You have been a wonderful friend to me and I will never forget you, I could go on and on about your kindness,you had a loving heart. I pray for your son's strength and will always remember you,your friend, Betty Pittman
