On the first anniversary of Betty White's death, her closest friend Patty Sullivan honored her by spending New Year's Eve on the beach. The two spent 20 years celebrating the holiday together in Carmel, and Sullivan fondly remembered their walks on the beach, collecting sea glass and enjoying each other's company.
Sullivan considered White her surrogate daughter, having been friends with her for 53 years since meeting in Cape Cod. In her final years of life, White was passionate about animal conservation and the health of the planet. Sullivan hopes readers will learn how deeply White cared about these causes through her book, "Betty White's Pearls of Wisdom: Life Lessons from a Beloved American Treasure.
