I am so very sorry for your loss.  Betsy had a great heart, ready smile, and love for family, students, and friends.  May God bless her heart and yours.

Sincerely,

Lisa Armistead

I knew Betsy and Paul Jr. from Yorktown. We were friends in school. Betsy had such a great sense of humor and could always make everyone laugh. She was also so very pretty.
 I had not spoken to her in years until we discovered each other on Facebook.about a year ago. We found out we had both become teachers. I also found out how very proud she was of her children and grandchild. She couldn't say enough nice things about her beautiful girls. 
I am sorry for your loss. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.

Don and I want to extend our sympathy to Betsy's family.  We remember her as a bright and beautiful high school student who was full of life and promise. We loved her very much. Her life's end came all too soon.

I really didn't know Betsy that well in high school, but I always thought of her as a California sunshine kind of girl. I hate it when the sun stops shining...

I don't remember ever seeing her not smiling. She made an impact on many lives

I'll never forget you. Always had good advice. My favorite teacher.  R.I.P

A warm, friendly, kind and caring person is what Betsy was to me. At 14 in a new school, on day one Betsy made me feel like everything was gona be alright. Will miss you, now a sweet child of God. Rest in peace girl. Prayers and strength in the coming days for all your family.

I love you Betsy.  So many memories,  you will live in the hearts of  your Yorktown friends forever. We are all sincerely heartbroken. Love to your family.  Wish I could come to hug your girls.

Your spark and smiling  face will be missed . Heaven has taken one of God's earthly Angels home to spend eternity with him. You will be missed. Rest In Peace.          Randy Baker   Your Friend Forever

Our deepest sympathy & prayers are with the Lamb & Mauney family, for your Great loss. Betsy will always live in our hearts!

Betsy...from 5th grade and through the years...always loved.

So many memories...I love you my dear old friend

God speed, Betsy.....You had a tremendous love of life and a heart "as big as the great outdoors" - you will be missed.

Praying for God's loving arms to hold your family close and give them comfort.  You will be missed.

So many memories...my Momma always remembered our 6th grade trip to Chicago Museum....one of many fun times we had.  Rest in peace my friend.

We'll miss you, girlfriend!  Gone too soon.  Rest In Peace.  Jeanine and Pete

So many happy memories of younger years! God speed, my friend. ??

Betsy, Kendal and Sam were the first to greet me and my family when we moved in to Willow Creek back in 2004.  We became very close to this family over the years.  Betsy was a friend that I could talk to and trust with my kids (my daughter loves her as her 2nd mom).  Many great memories of neighborhood pool fun, cookouts and enjoying life with friends.
I am deeply sadden that these times are no longer and that my sweet friend has left this earth way to soon but I know she is now happy, no more sorrow or sadness and that her heart is full of joy.  I hope she knows how many hearts she truly touched with happiness.  RIP my friend.
Remember, its not a goodbye but its Until I see you again 
Much love, Jill M McManigal and The McManigal Family

No man is an island entire of itself; 
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; 
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe 
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as 
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine 
own were; any man's death diminishes me, 
because I am involved in mankind. 
And therefore never send to know for whom 
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. 

MEDITATION XVII
Devotions upon Emergent Occasions
John Donne 

You comforted many people on their islands.  Now, may The Lord provide calm and comfort to you and your family.  Earnest prayers of compassion.  

Much love, 
your comrade in the trenches and friend beyond the classroom,

To Barbara, Stephanie, Katie, Micah, Samantha and Kendal:  The great Victorian poet Tennyson has comforted many over the years from the widowed Queen Victoria to Robert F. Kennedy in the loss of his brother John down to me and I hope now all of you.  The sand that slipped through Betsy's fingers in this life is filling her hands full now and she understands what she could not till now.  Love Vicki Munn

The Poem "Early Spring" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, a poem the copyright of which has long expired.

Once more the Heavenly Power
Makes all things new,
And domes the red-plowed hills
With loving blue; 
The blackbirds have their wills,
The throstles too.

Opens a door in Heaven; 
From skies of glass
A Jacob's ladder falls
On greening grass, 
And o'er the mountain-walls
Young angels pass.

Before them fleets the shower,
And burst the buds, 
And shine the level lands,
And flash the floods;
The stars are from their hands
Flung through the woods,

The woods with living airs
How softly fanned,
Light airs from where the deep,
All down the sand,
Is breathing in his sleep,
Heard by the land.

O, follow, leaping blood,
The season's lure!
O heart, look down and up,
Serene, secure, 
Warm as the crocus cup,
Like snow-drops, pure!

Past, Future glimpse and fade
Through some slight spell,
A gleam from yonder vale, 
Some far blue fell; 
And sympathies, how frail,
In sound and smell!

Till at thy chuckled note,
Thou twinkling bird,
The fairy fancies range,
And, lightly stirred,
Ring little bells of change
From word to word.

For now the Heavenly Power
Makes all things new,
And thaws the cold, and fills
The flower with dew;
The blackbirds have their wills,
The poets too. 
 
Rest Well in the Bosom of God, Betsy;  His peace is finally yours.
