To the Rowes, 

I am so sorry that you have lost your matriarch, at least in physical form, as I know she will always be with you.  Betsey was such a force for loving kindness and selfless goodness in the world. When I was blessed to know all of you and spend time in the Rowe home, I saw how she put her values into how she lived.  She choose to help people on a personal level.   Betsey gave so many who were seeking refugee , not only actual shelter, but also emotional stability and positivity.  She made others feel loved and worthy just by being near her.   As I've gotten older, I think that Betsey's qualities have only gotten more admirable.   What a gift to have known her and all of you.  I will always remember her wonderful smile, laugh and warm hugs.   The comfort from her loss, lies in the great legacy that she leaves.  In all of her children, I see so many of her compassionate qualities and desire to make the world a more positive, loving place.  Even though I haven't been around in so many years, I know you are raising her grandchildren in the same way.  What a beautiful legacy to leave the world with more positive than negative and more love than hate.  I wish I could be there today to celebrate her life with all of you.  I'm sending you hugs, love and light.  

Love, 

Elizabeth 

Betsey was such a gentle and loving friend to our family

So very sorry for your loss-
