Our deepest condolences. Although Canada was a far way we always felt connected with our Aunt Betsy and her family. That is way we feel this loss as well even from the other site of the Ocean, she such was a fine person. When I see the pictures on this site, the good memories come back of the, too few, times we met her.
Marilyn and Liz we pray that God may embrace ,and your families, in comfort during this difficult time.

She would come to my parents store and get her stamps and I would see her at the villa years later.
