Our sincere sympathies to all the Bendall Family.
We both knew Betsy and Ken. I was associated with Betsy
with the CWL, and we met whenever we have a Diocesan
Meeting. Also, Betsy worked with Heather and I occassionally
Betsy was first and foremost a very lovely lady. A kind word
for everyone. She was a perfect partner for Ken.
She will missed by all.

Betsy will be greatly missed. I looked forward to chatting with Betsy every morning as she walked by our house on Munro while my daughter and I waited for the bus to arrive. She always had a wave for Melissa and the kids on the bus. Bye for now Betsy…….
We are sad to hear about the death of a marvellous and exemplary woman. Betsy was a wonderful neighbour across the street and lived her life with kindness and generosity towards everyone. We know you, her children, will always be her shining accomplishments and we wish you, especially Kelli and IKent whom we knew best, much strength in the days ahead. Take care of each other and know that your are thought of with fondness and symplathy.

Dear Kelli,
I’m so sorry to hear of your mum’s death. I loved having you in my class all those years ago at UVic, and one of my clearest memories of you is the warmth and love with which you always spoke of your family. I’m sure you all will miss her very much.
Thinking of you,
Sylvia & family
