Really the best thing about Betty is her personality -- calm, patient, quiet, but also "sparkling"... terrific sense of humor. You remember Polly Holliday, the "kiss my grits" lady? Betty can do her PERFECTLY.

Also, she and I are very close to the same size, and she's a massive clothes-horse, so I get all her cast-offs... that there is NOTHING wrong with, she's just tired of them.
She has the same personality as my grandfather, her dad, and he was a true treasure; losing him felt like losing part of my own body, and I was only 24 at the time, my first family loss, and it was devastating. I really wish my husband could have known my Pop, but since he knows Betty, at least he has a good mental image of what Pop was like.
