She dedicated my elementary school. I did "I am somebody" for her and presented her with an eagle pendent. My baby brother played George Washington in the kindergarteners' play, and my mother snuck in (Mom - 1/ Secret Service - 0). Betty was obviously very "out" of it; I was so inspired by her struggle and victory over addiction, not to mention what she and her treatment center and meant to so many.
Her bravery in the face of her breast cancer diagnosis was inspirational, and she made a positive change for all women.
May light perpetual shine upon her.
