I just received an email from longtime Bettehead and friend Andy Baker that his Mom just passed away. She, too, was a big supporter of Ms. Midler and even passed this down to her son Andy. All thoughts and well wishes are welcomed:
Dear Don:
My Mom Passed away last week. She was the person who first turned me on to Bette Midler. She had the 45 of THE ROSE and I heard it as a kid. She always loved her. Please share with your readers that One Lovely woman (Bette) could always make another Lovely Woman (My Mom) smile. Her favorite Bette Movie was Outrageous Fortune. She always said it was one of the funniest movies she ever saw. Her favorite song was Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. She loved that. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated , Don.
I hope you are doing well. Please take care and thank you for being my friend.
much love
ANDY BAKER
