Dear Jim and Family,
Our hearts go out to you over the loss of your wonderful wife and mother. You and Betsy were such wonderful neighbors ever since we met on that first snow storm in January of 1978, when we first moved to Rockwood Rd. Please accept out deepest condolences Jim. Betsy was surely, one of a kind and will be dearly missed. Take care and God Bless you and all of your family

Betsy was always a support and caring and kind to our family! She is so, so dearly missed. Our hearts are heavy. May it be a comfort that she was loved by many. May the God of all comfort, comfort your hearts. Love and prayers from the Lyon Family.

The Kerr family has always been good to me, and Betsy was no exception. She'd always give me a semi-stern look when I walked in the office, because she new I was more than a bit of a wise cracker, and something of a troublemaker, but the conversation would always end with her shaking her head, and giving me that knowing smirk that only a mother or grandmother can give you. Maybe even a chuckle. She always showed me great kindness, and for that kindness I am ever grateful. The he world is a better place, because of people like Betsy. God grant her peace.

To the Kerr Family: My thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy are with all of you during this difficult time.

We are so saddened to have heard of Betsy's passing and yet are rejoicing to know that she is at home with our Lord. We are praying for Jim and all of the family that you will be comforted by the Holy Spirit and have a peace that passes all understanding. I am so glad you don't have to say goodbye to Betsy, you can say see you later, because she is alive and well with the Lord.

My heart is breaking for the Kerr Family!
Betsy was the best...I'm so glad I was able to reconnect with her the past few years! I'll never forget visiting her for lunch at her house, she always made sure to make my favorite blueberry muffins for me! I will never forget how she made me feel loved & treated me as family. Her love for the Lord was evident & she always steered me in his direction, she had a kind, loving soul. I'm honored and blessed that she was the Grandmother of my daughter! The Lord has gained a gem! Sending all my love & prayers to the Kerr Family
