    I hold your family in my thoughts and prayers…
    A few years ago, I was a personal care aide for Betsy whern she received home visits. Betsy and I hit it off right away and soon we became great friends! She was a wonderful lady and I so much enjoyed our endless conversations. At times, we would talk so much.. We would run over our time limit! I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have met Betsy. Each time I came, she couldn’t wait to hear the latest stories about my son and fill me in on all her latest news. We shared many laughs and when I left personal care services, we shared tears. I will truly miss Betsy but will cherish many wonderful memories. I feel blessed to have met her.

    I am very sorry to learn of your loss. I know very well that the two of you were very close. I regret that I will not be able to attend the service. I do want you to know that you are always in my prayers and especially more so at this most difficult time for you.

    To the Goetz Family:

    Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family at this time… Losing a loved one is never easy, and our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Now is a time that families need each other to lean on. We did not know Betsy personally but Ted is my son-in-law and losing my husband Clay A. Robinson Sr. a few years back was a trying time, and each one of you were there for us, and it was greatly appreciated by us all.

    The Clay & Diane Robinson Family
