The Crew's Last Will and Testament
Dear Betty,
People come and people go.
But the love you've shown
Will always hold.
You treat your crew with such respect
When there were times you could have
Rung our necks.
You're more than what a boss should be.
You have that special dignity.
Your laughs, your cries,
And now goodbyes.
We'll miss you, Betty.
That's no lie.
From your one and only mixed up crew,
But that's OK 'cause you knew it too.
