Betsy was so special! I admired her great love for animals and gardening, especially.
My fond remembrance of her was when she was trying to teach me how to crochet and kept slapping my hand when I did it incorrectly. We both had some good laughs with that session!

Don and Family,
Brad and I are truly sadden by Betsy death. She definitely was too young to be taken by the terrible disease of cancer. I know that Betsy was a true survivor and lived life to the fullest. She will be deeply missed.

Our deepest regards.
