Betsy was an inspiration to all with whom she came in contact. She will be remembered for her dedication to her family, her grace and compassion and her zest for all of life's adventures. What a legacy she has given her family.

After I heard the sad news about Betsy on Friday, my husband, Chris, and I hiked up the mountain with a bottle of wine, watched the sunset and drank a toast to her. She always made Jessica and me feel a welcome part of the Morphy clan and I will miss her. Hugs to all of you. Love, Alexandra
