Betsy was one of my longest and closest friends. We met in Caramat in the late sixties and become good friends, lots of good memories being neighbours and raising our kids...curling and dances in Caramat were we had lots of good times. We didn't see much of each other when we both moved to Thunder Bay but kept in touch. The last time was a visit to the hospital in August . We reminisced of our Caramat days and talked of our kids and grandkids..We parted with a hug and told each other that we loved each other...I think I knew then that would be the last time seeing each other. She also came to my 75th surprised birthday party last February and the first thing she said to me ....I want to meet your man. She and Raymond my late husband were also good friends and she was so happy for me that I had met someone...She will always be in my thoughts...Rest in peace my friend..
