To Betsy's family,
Any time that we lose loved one this is certainly a difficult time. May the precious memories you shared together, help you cope and bring you peace. May the scripture found at 1 Thes. 4:14 bring you some comfort knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be reassuring. May the God of peace be with you and your family during this time.

So many good memories. Been thinking about our red and blue car, raspberry pie and home made ice cream (or Dorman's), the fun trip to Quebec in 2006, and your last trip to Maine in 2014, among lots of other things. How I wish I could be with you all on Saturday. I will be in spirit. Blessings
