Ari and family, Grace (Unangst) and I are so sad to learn of your huge loss. I have many fond memories of your mother (and dad) at school events and meetings over the past twelve years, always showing their love and support for you, your sister, and their community.
Please know that Grace and I are thinking of, and praying for you, and your sister and dad at this time. Please let us know how we can provide any tangible help now or in the coming months. From my discussion with Grace last night, I know that she is eager to be a listening ear or to help with any of the school work you share.
Our hearts are heavy.
Helen McIlvaine (Grace's mom) and Grace Unangst

Betsy was a rare find of love, faith, and beauty. The world is a less spiritual place for me now that she is gone.
