My treasured Aunt Betsy – I will miss you so much, you were the best aunt I could have ever asked for – for that I am eternally grateful. I have so many great memories and take great pride whenever I am told of a similarity we share – it’s the ultimate compliment. You were a gift to anyone who was lucky enough to know you. Your smile and laugh was contagious and you just made people feel good. Love you always. Uncle Gerry, my heart is with you.
