Dear Chris, Erica and Tony,
We are so sorry for your loss. Betsy was a very kind and loving person. It was evident how loved she was when her grandchildren's faces lit up as she entered the room. May God bring you comfort at this time and know that our prayers and thoughts are with you.
In loving sympathy, Rick and Marian Miaskiewicz
