Betty and I were good friends our senior year. She was as cute as could be with a contagious smile! Betty looked like Betty Boop with her big brown eyes and short curly hair and actually signed my annual "Betty Boop." Her parents gave her a brand new VW bug our senior year and I remember how much fun we had cruising around! She married Johnny soon after graduation and I remember visiting them in their little apartment near SAC. They were the cutest couple and I saw where they were still together upon her death. We kept up with each other for many years but then lost track. I was so sad to see that she had passed. She will forever live in my heart!

Betty and I went to grade school together.We went to Ursuline Academy, Prvidence High school and then decided to try Robert E Lee High School. We both loved it there. We meet many new friends. Carol Roberts at top of the list. I kept up with her for a long time. Our husbands went to Jefferson High school. We emailed while she was sick. She was very brave till the end. I will hold her in my heart forever. She was as Carol described her. Love you Betty. Rozana
