Dec 4, 2025I was shocked to find out that my good friend and cabin mate on several cruises had passed. She was a wonderful lady, a good friend and one of the nicest people I've ever met. I have been best friends with Anne and Richard for many years and knew Betty through them. My condolences to the family and if I had known sooner, I would have attended the viewing and funeral. This lovely woman will be sadly missed by all and I will also miss her sense of humour and our phone calls to "catch up". So sorry for your loss and my prayers are with you all.
