My husband and I didn't know Mr. Betsill, but we know Floyd and Pauline Scott very well and they are very special to us. While visiting their home, Pauline opened the treasure of family pictures and through pictures, we met Mr. James Betsill. Pauline shared wonderful memories with us of all the good times of "family". We are praying that you will find strength to get through this difficult time.

Dear Betsill family,
I'm so, so sorry to hear of James' passing. I thought of him a few days ago as I was planning to pickle some green tomatoes and said to myself I'd have to get a jar to him because he liked them so much. I also remember the closeness of brothers and sisters and know he's been welcomed home with open arms.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. God bless you and give you peace.

Sincerely,
