Dear Gerry,
We are so very sorry to hear of Betsy passing.
We have many happy memories of the time we spent with you both.
Whether it was at company functions or doing Tofino on $400 a day.
We will treasure these and the many acts of kindness that Betsy showed us.
May the memories of all you shared during your life together comfort you at this difficult time.
Please know that you are in our thoughts.
Love Keith & Barb
My heart is broken by Betsy’s passing. Betsy was such a kind and gentle, yet fiercely strong woman whom I admired and learned so much from during the time I had the pleasure of working for her. Lots of people come and go in your life but only a few have an impact that can be felt and seen for the rest of your life. It’s been nearly 18 years since I worked with Betsy, but I still see a lot of her influence in my work habits. I credit much of my success to things I learned from Betsy. She was so good to me back then and we kept in touch through the years and she was always genuinely interested in how my family and I were doing. I will miss her terribly.
Gerry, my heart aches for you. The love you had for Betsy was so obvious and I know she loved and appreciated you so much. Please know that you are in my thoughts. I’ll be in touch soon. Take care.
Gerry,
I was so saddened to hear of Betsy’s passing today. I have so many wonderful memories both at Island Print Group and socially, those stories will be cherished forever. Dad and I will be in touch soon.

The sweetest lady who had a smile for everyone she met!!
Betsy was generous background supporter of the UVic Women’s Golf Team for years that was greatly appreciated.

Gerry,
Our deepest condolences. My heart is heavy, but my memories of fun times spent with you and Betsy will never fade. Betsy was fun and gave me a run for my money when I was being sassy. She was a very kind and thoughtful person and will be deeply missed.
