Dear Clagg and Shultz families, I want to express my sympathy and apology. I was out of town for the entire week during Betsey's passing and funeral. The trip had been planned for months. Betsey was my boss in Staff Development and we spent more time together than we did with our actual families. I have many pictures and memories. I was at her wedding and she was so happy. Trust in the Lord and remember Betsey's sense of humor which will make you smile. Loretta Cooper.
Dear Bob, Rosie, and family,
We’re so sorry to hear of Betsey’s passing. Sending love and hugs.
