So sorry to hear about the loss of Betsy. Betsy was always so kind and a wonderful person. A lot of wonderful memories of Betsy at Midway Baptist.

Betsy Sue was a GREAT cousin! She was always laughing and joyful as a young girl and teenager. She would patiently allow me and younger girl cousins brush her beatiful long hair when we were very young. Such good memories! My heart goes out to all her family and loved ones. May God Bless you and comfort each of you in the days ahead. Crystal(Crissy) Kullnat-Knight
