I worked with Betsy for several years in the gift shop at the Medical Center. She was delightful and a great working partner. She shared her love of golf and of life with all of us. I'm sure you are missing her. Holly Johnson

GG was one of a kind and truly an inspiration to live a full life. I always appreciated that she took the time to ask how I was doing and what I was up to. She liked hearing about travel and adventure and sharing her similar life experiences. A blessing to know her :)
