Buddy.
Confidant.
Cat herder.
Betsy Ebeling, 73, who was known as Hillary Rodham Clinton’s best friend and first childhood school chum, died Sunday in Arlington Heights after a long battle with breast cancer.
Ebeling and Clinton had a long history together dating back to when they were sixth-graders at Eugene Field School in Park Ridge.
“It’s so sudden because Betsy was always busy gathering Hillary and all of us who had been close — especially her Park Ridge school buddies, which she jokingly likened to herding cats,” said Kathy Burgess, a close friend.
Ebeling was working on getting everyone together for a “slumber party” in Indiana Aug. 9- 11, Burgess said.

Chelsea Clinton is officially a mom of three.
The 39-year-old author and daughter of former President Clinton and Hillary Clinton announced the birth of her third child, Jasper Clinton Mezvinsky, on Monday.
This morning we welcomed our son, Jasper Clinton Mezvinsky. We are overflowing with love and gratitude and can’t wait to introduce him to his big sister and brother.

Clinton — author of the children’s books, “Start Now! You Can Make a Difference” and “She Persisted” — and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are already parents to Aidan, 3, and Charlotte, 4. All of the couple’s children share their mom’s maiden name as their middle names.
Hillary Clinton told her more than 25 million Twitter followers that she was “thrilled” by the “happy news” of her third grandchild:
Sharing some happy news this morning! Bill and I are so thrilled. https://t.co/199K5REg8G
