She will be missed by many. Some of my earliest memories as a child revolves around spending time at aunt Betsy's house. After grandma's death her presence gave me great comfort. We did not see each other often in recent years, but when we did it always felt like a homecoming for me. I will miss her dearly.

She was an angel, and now she has gone home to be with her Lord and Savior. God has her in his loving arms now. She will be deeply missed by all. She was a loving person to all she met. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
