Betty White is known for many things.  She is considered the first lady of television, she starred in films well into her late eighties and even early nineties, she was an advocate for animals and she is known for loving her husband with all her heart even after his death.

In many interviews I have heard with Betty she says she never married again after his death because her heart still belonged to him.  She mentioned looking forward to seeing him again one day.  He was on her mind as she left this world according to an article in the Sun.

Betty White allegedly called out to her late husband, Allen Ludden before she died.  Her friend and actress Vicki Lawrence reportedly said according to The Sun, "The very last word out of her mouth was 'Allen' , how sweet is that?"  It is the sweetest.
