I remember when Sima was pregnant with my cousin Betsy! She was the cutest toddler you can imagine. I wasn't at all surprised at her success, as she was so smart & charismatic. I wish we had had time to know each other better.

Grant, I am so sorry to hear of Betsy passing. You have my deepest sympathy. I always looked forward to her coming to the shop to get her hair cut. I so enjoyed our conversations. She was so kind and thoughtful. God Bless,

Dear Grant,
I just heard. So so sorry. It just is not right. Bets was the best and such a good friend to my late wife Robin Riggs and me. I know you will miss that great smile and laugh. Every time we got together we just had a blast. There was just that connection from 30 plus years of friendship.

Deepest sympathy,
Peter Goldsmith

Betsy made every event she attended better. She gave of herself -- laughter, love, caring. I'm so grateful to have seen her at our 40th reunion in October. My wish for all of us who knew her is that we will be blessed by our memories of her.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was an Original Shady Lady with Betsy, and we remained friends through the years- both working as lawyers in Pittsburgh. Her smile, Laugh and true kindness will not be forgotten. She will be greatly missed.

Betsy was my dear friend and study buddy in law school. Her contagious laugh and upbeat personality made law school tolerable. We shared to many wonderful times together. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding and charmed all of Monroe, Louisiana!I loved her dearly for all the joy she brought into my life. I am so thankful that we had a weekend together in New Orleans at our 30th reunion last year. Betsy, you will be so missed, and I know that there is no "V" in heaven (inside joke that only Betsy will understand). I hope that Grant and all of Betsy's family find comfort during this difficult time. My love to you always, sweet Betsy, and until we meet again... Martha Tisdale Cordell (Tulane L85).

To the Family, Betsy was very special. She had a personality unlike anyone I know. Her Heart was open to all. Her love filled the room like the scent of fresh flowers. I know that she is in a better place and she will make the better place better. Ted SSA 76
