  38. So sorry for your loss. Betsy always stopped to see me and chat with me at the front desk at Walkers Trail. She was always a light of sunshine and had a big smile and hug for me. A loving and caring personality followed her everyday. She made the best of every day and never complained about her health issues. If she had a bad day we would talk about it and she would accept the present and continue on to make things better. She was a strong woman and loved everyone. A beautiful angel has walked through the gates and seen Jesus and no longer in pain. My prayers are with the family now and the days ahead. Kay
