I'm sorry to be so many months late in responding, but I only now discovered that Bette had passed away. Please accept my deepest sympathy in your great loss. L. G. was my next-door neighbor during my growing-up years. I never met Bette personally, but I talked to her on the phone and corresponded through email. She seemed to be a truly nice person. My husband, Ted Ross, joins me in this expression of sympathy to L.G. and all the family. God bless.

My sincere Sympathy to you Brink, Barrie, Brooke, and Damara & the Family. We will remember Bette Ann, with her lovely smile and kindness forever. We were so happy to welcome you at are home, having dinner with us many years ago. We have always wished to visit you guys in Colorado, but circumstances always held us from going because of our Bicycle Store. I will never forget my fourth cousin Bette Anne, that I always send her a card for Christmas. We are very sorry we are unable to attend the service but our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mr. Brinkley,

You may not remember us. My wife Kassandra and son, Lenny, and I were friends with your daughter's family and we would came by so often for Damara's parties. I wanted to say we loved your wife and will miss her dearly.

Bette's passing is so sad. She and I were close friends throughout our school years, and we enjoyed many of the same interests and activities. I will always remember her ambition and dedication to whatever she put her mind to. Brink and family, please accept my sincere condolences. She will be missed.

Brink, Barrie, Brooke, Damara. John and beloved dog Kane,
Words cannot express my sorrow and shock over Bette's passing. My deepest sympathy to all of you who she loved so very much. Bette was a dear friend to so many and Charles and I felt so blessed to be included. So many memories from Germany and later on in the States. She was a special lady. Her laughter, kindness and support for the military families has left an everlasting imprint on so many who were so fortunate enough to have known her.
Brink you and Bette were so thoughtful, caring and supportive during Charles' struggle with lung cancer with your cards, emails and encouraging phone calls until his passing for tbat i will be eternally grateful. Brink my grandsons speak so highly of you that you took time to stop in Williamstown, KY and visit their Papaw Charlie's gravesite at the Veterans Cemetery. Our family will forever cherish having known such remarkable friends as Bette and you. Rest in peace dear Bette. God has called another Angel home. My deepest condolence to all of you. Betty and family

Brink and family - it has way too many years since we all spent time together in the early 80's. My last name was Mousaw at that time. Just a memory jogger!! My most sincere thoughts and prayers go out to you and the family. Losing our loved ones way before we should takes part of us with them. Darla Nordstrom

My deepest sympathy to your family. Bette Ann was the third cousin of my dad(Roger). We did see Bette and Brink(as we called him) in Ottawa on a few occasion and even my children remember them as they met them. She always sent my dad a yearly letter to let us know how was everything in Colorado and send us a picture of the family. The last time we talked was 2 years ago when my dad passed away and her phone call and email was greatly appreciated. This is a very difficult time for you and your family but our thoughts are with you. Her laugh will be greatly missed .
