Tony, Johnny and Paul:
It was a true pleasure to know Betsy over the past 10 years or so.  She opened her home to me on a number of occasions, but also opened her heart – sharing wit and good cheer and a healthy dose of horse sense. I can well imagine that she was a person in whose company one would very much enjoy going down the road of life. It is sad beyond words that the road for all of you with her as husband or brother was not longer. She will be missed and remembered. The finest tribute she could possibly have received was the  wonderful and warm sendoff given to her by her friends and family. God bless guys. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
