Aunt Betsy was the best person in the world I’ve known her for a very long time she’s always there to listen to me when I needed someone to talk to. She’s known my kids since they were for little. She’s to come on the deck and have happy hour at . She’s always been so happy no matter what situation she is in now she’s in heaven having a grand old. she was family to us no matter what. I love you Aunt Betsy.
Betsy and I we had lots of good laughs and some tears. But she was and will always be my best friend. She was family it’s hard to explain she was more than a friend. She was a sister to me we had good times together and we’ll always be sisters or matter where where you are.
I’ll never forget The Times we had together and she always be a big part of my life and my family’s life.
I love you and Betsy I love you Betsy thanks for being a sister when I needed. I’ll never forget the time that we were on a cruise and she got on top of the piano my granddaughter and I were watching her we couldn’t stop laughing. It was so funny but that’s Betsy for you. She never stopped having fun no matter what the situation occurred.
