Betty Readman was very dear to me. She was a close friend of my parents, Harold and Thelma Miller of 17 Peak Mansions, The Peak, HK. and treated me like an older sister from from when I was 8 until she died, when I was 16. She was the first person I had known well who had died and I was utterly broken hearted. Betty had a great sense of fun, she was very pretty and lively and much loved by her husband, children and friends. She provided me with all her unwanted bikinis and other lovely clothes as I grew older! We walked to her grave and I could barely stand from grief. RIP dear Betty, I will never forget you. Mary
