Eric and family,
My heart felt sympathy goes out to you and your family. I didn't know Betsy personally but I work with her son Eric and I know what kind of person he is so I know she had to be a special lady. May God continue to be with you all. Remember those memories you have with her because no one can take those away from you. I pray that God gives you peace and comfort in the days to come. Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.
