It has been said, it takes a village to raise a family. Aunt Betsy and my mom were part of the village. They, their siblings and spouses created a loving life for us. I am so grateful. We had so many barbecues and parties, always food, always drinks and always chatter. Aunt Besty was never without a smile, and so gentle. She and Uncle Edmund had the cutest twinkle in their eyes for each other. I love her. My love extends to all of you who will miss her every day.Janet Gray
