Not sure what to say?





I was just having my coffee and grabbed my phone to call you; like so many other times over these past months. Then my stomach flips and my eyes begin to tear. I miss you so much! Not a day goes by without thinking of you. I miss your voice....

Dear Martha and Family, So sorry to hear of Betsy's recent death. I remember her quite fondly when visiting Aunt Janet and Uncle Paul and the boys. In particular, I remember the adorable picture of her on her First Communication Day. God bless you and keep you in his arms.
Sincerely,
Beth Mullan Martellotta

I'm so saddened to hear Betsy has passed. I remember Betsy and her Mom from working at UMass. Betsy was one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever known.

By far THE CUTEST GIRL I EVER KNEW...1976 - 1981 BJH, BHS. Seems maybe Betsy gave of herself so much in recent years that the Universe took her back home for a rest. I have a clear picture in my mind of 1978 Betsy. I loved her so much back then. She made my days happy.
