You came in quietly,
slipping under the cool
sheets, pressing skin
to skin as an eighteen-

the two-lane into town.

Bets, I know you must be amused at this modern form of expression. I think we'll look at this as a message in the air... I know your mighty, mighty soul is hard at work. Keep an eye on all of us who love you. ... that should keep you busy. See you on the flip side! Peace be with you Lady!

I'm so sad to hear about this. Betsy Stacey Elizabeth made our lives so much fun in the early Ben and Jerry's days; I will always remember her great laugh and sense of craziness. Rest in peace, Betsy.

Betsy lit up my life from the first day of kindergarten – when my family moved to California, I never got over missing her. Shall never forget the special joy when she came with her music teacher to San Diego – we were 12 years old. Later our paths crossed again – in San Francisco (1971), at Appletree Point the summer I studied at Middlebury (1979) and in 1989 when she rescued me from despair – quite literally, she saved my life. Saw her briefly in Burlington when I was on my to start my life...

Love the photo. Elizabeth, I know you're smiling down on all of us with a twinkle in your eye. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You've given me and so many so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I remember Elizabeth (I called her Bets), as a feisty, highly intellingent, witty and sincerely generous person. She had a lot of soul which came out in her singing. Singing with her in 'The Chapped Lips' was a highlight in my life and a memory I will always treasure. Bets had a great ear for melody and a wonderful way with words- (she also had the biggest vocal range in the group which we definately exploited!) She also had a great sense of style and an eye for beautiful, artistic things....
