Not sure what to say?

I have a wonderful memory of Betsy. When I was in 7th grade I had to have my appendix out and for some reason my parents couldn´t be there before my surgery. Betsy came and sat by my bed and read to me. I had been scared, but Betsy´s lovely voice calmed me. She stayed until I was taken to surgery. I so appreciated the gift of her time she gave to me.

I don´t think I have the right words to convey how much I´m sure Betsy is missed by her family and friends. In the short time we lived next door to the Cain family, I remember Betsy as always being so cheerful with a smile on her face. May the many memories of Betsy bring peace and comfort to all that knew and loved her.

To Ted and your Family and all of the Cains,
I was saddened to hear of Betsy's passing. Whenever I was at your house when we were kids, Betsy always was the bright, smiling, funny one! She was always so sweet when we ran into one another, and she sure was a bright light! My heart goes out to you all, and am sending prayers and thoughts your way.

Beautiful obituary. The loving description certainly was spot on! Her eyes just sparkled when she was teasing, which was often, and then everyone had to laugh when she started - and what a wonderful laugh. I am smiling in memory of all the times we enjoyed that part of her and the special relationship she had with Ted - especially how she could egg him on.
Our thoughts and fond memories are with her family and loved ones as they go through this difficult transition. All our love to you!

Ted and family. I was so very, very sorry to hear of your loss. My heart goes out to all of your family. I know how much she was loved. Prayers are with you.

Just learning of Betsy passing today 11/15.So sorry our family was not there for you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Jim,Shiela, and the entire Hartnett family.

I loved Betsy like she was the sister I never had. I will continue to miss her every day. She loved her family and friends beyond words. She positively affected our world and left it a better place. Rest In Peace! ❤Cindy

Rest in peace, Betsy and prayers for the entire Cain family - good people all.
