Cheatham family, After just seeing Betsy at PPI, this was truly a shock. I have such fond memories of the Mattaponi with you and her and learning to water ski and all of the years after. This is such a great loss for everyone and we want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Fondly, Travis and Michelle Ellwanger

Dear Frank,
I am so grateful that you took the time to call. Ray and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. I will always remember Betsy as one of the very first professional women of EMS who was an incredible role model for a 22 year old so long ago (back when we were breaking out from the "women's auxillary" - and never looked back!).
Later she taught me about marriage and commitment (you both did!)and I treasure the fact she was one of my bridesmaids. I chose well, as did you.
All our love,
Dede and Ray

Cheatham family,
My thoughts are with you in this time of profound loss.
I met Betsy a few years ago though our work at VCU, and found her to be a trusted friend that was always willing to help anyone in need and ready to share a smile.

Betsy was a friend in both IIA (Institute of Internal Auditors) and for a long time in the ISACA (Info Systems Audit and Control Assoc) Virginia Chapter where she kept active.
I will miss seeing and talking with her at these meetings. Betsy will be missed by all who knew her!
