Betsy was a mentor & good friend to me. We were social work colleagues prior to her retirement. I will miss her lovely spirit and support as a friend and clinical social worker. I just know that she is smiling down on us! My sympathy to her family, especially her brother Frank as she was loved by all who knew her.
