Keeping you all in our prayers…Collis, Joan, Denise & Family
Sherry, Clay, and Family, One of my early memories of Betty is visiting Aunt Betsy and getting to see my beautiful teenage cousin with the perfect pageboy hair, poodle skirt, and crinolines. I thought Betty was beyond cool! You are in my prayers. Hold tight to your memories. Love never dies. Love, Debby Boswell Keller Winston-Salem, NC
We have lived next door to the Andrews for almost 40 years and you could not ask for any better neighbors We have always done for each other in a neighborly way. I know Betsy doted on her children and grandchildren and always looked forward to visiting with them. Betsy I will miss your smile. I will miss our afternoon talks. I will miss our goodbye hug. And Betsy remember – anything you need – Just give me a holler.
As a friend of Clay and Terri Andrews, thoughts go out to the entire Andrews family during your loss. Linder
Our family has many fond memories of the good times we shared over the years with Betsy and Clayton and their family at SeaSpray. We will miss having them there. Our sincerest condolences to you all. Judy and Tom Weiss
