Not sure what to say?

I never met Betsy. I have a daughter with Crohn's disease & I had a "CarePage" where I updated my daughter's treatments, surgeries, etc. Not sure how Betsy found the CarePage, but she did. What a wonderful human being she was! She was very Kind to me & my daughter and helped us out of some pretty scary financial times! Honestly, she was an ANGEL towards my daughter and myself. I love her daughter Marsea too!! Much Love To Betsy Always!

I never met Betsy, but I loved her. She was SO VERY KIND to me & my daughter & she never even met us! She wanted to remain anonymous. She found us when she began reading "Madicyn's Fight" - our Journal on CaringBridge. It was a journal I updated so family & friends would know about Madicyn's long battle against Crohns Disease. What a wonderfully kind soul Betsy was. Both Madicyn and I were heartbroken that we never got to meet her before she left this realm.

"She liked whate´er / She looked on, and her looks went everywhere." RIP Betsy, your Bridge Buddies miss you.

I was privileged to count Betsy as a bridge buddy in her final years. Since my husband and I lived some six blocks away from her in SoMa, we would occasionally give her a lift to games, and she came over for dinner once. She was elegant, kind, and a very savvy player, plus she never got mad when I forgot a convention. My heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones.

Betsy was such a wonderful bridge player. I always looked forward to playing at her table. She will certainly be missed in the bridge world. How sorry I am..

My deepest condolences. Betsy always treated me like extended family. For that I will always be grateful. My heart goes out to the family.
