Betsy was one of my childhood friends at Cherry Ave and the First Reformed Church. Her Dad instructed the Bell Choir, and I became a really strong player, even today at my church. (Thank you Bill). God bless the family.

What a wonderful and giving person. We are all diminished by her loss, but we were all made SO much better by having her in our lives (and in the Class of '77) You'll be greatly missed, my friend.

Will miss you, Betsy. No more pain or struggles. You and Aunt Kathryn can get up a great card game now. Love and hugs to Uncle Bill and to Nancy, Janna, Calvin and Audrey. Betsy so loved Nancy's children.

I will never think of Betsy without seeing her sitting across from me in the alto section at BAFFA for many years. Her hands were always busy. If not holding music to sing, they were knitting or crocheting while waiting to practice her part. Betsy was a font of information of other musical programs in the area. She, and her ready smile and musical talents, will surely be missed. Sincere condolences to her family.

So very sorry to hear of Betsy's passing. She was my first bell choir partner and teacher and shared with me her love of music and bells. Her laughter will be missed. My prayers and condolences to her family and friends.

Betsy was such a kind and loving soul. I'm so glad I reconnected with her at our 30th reunion and renewed our friendship. We supported each other and laughed along the way. She will be truly missed. My love and prayers to Betsys family and friends.

While I salute Betsy and her life, I must say hello also to Kim who was a friendly classmate as well as Bart Lamens. The three of you were special to me. While Kimberly and Bart were amiable and immensely popular at Cherry Avenue, Betsy was much more reserved and a bit shy like me. It has been fifty years since seeing my elementary school classmates and I miss you all. God Bless the Pauwee family and the family of Steve Salazar as well.

No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. However, take comfort in knowing that Betsy is now resting in the arms of our Lord. My deepest condolences to Betsy's family.
