    Dear Family of Betsy, Please accept my deepest sympathy. Betsy was a wonderful, holy, precious friend and will be deeply missed. Due to travel, I will be unable to attend her celebration of life but will be there in spirit & prayer. God bless her as she reunites with Lynn.

    I had the pleasure of knowing your mother, Betsy, while we were reading teachers at Charlotte. Betsy was such a kind and lovely lady. She always had a kind word and smile. She and Lynn enjoyed life together and did many wonderful things to make and leave this world a better place.

    This is such a huge loss for the family. She was a wonderful Aunt, and friend. She was very kind and loving, intelligent, and articulate. I want to thank her and Uncle Lynn for bringing Bonnie, Ray, and Steve, into our lives! What a wonderful blessing! Thank you Aunt Betsy for all that you have done for us! You will be missed! Love your niece, Kathy
