dear john and girls,
betsy was exuberant, funny,and in
many ways helped to hold our
extended family together. i will
miss her frequent notes and pictures, and news of her beloved
husband, girls, and grandchildren.
i guess i've known her longer
than most, because we were cousins
growing up together in n.y.
she will be greatly missed, love, jeanne and gus orphanides
