Bets we know you would have been very pleased to see all the people that came to honor you in a special way . The times like the crystal balls at the diner, boat rides on lake Hopatcong, Mrs.butterworths candy at the fair and the big smile that was on your face when we would get together and talk about the old times and the things we did. All the special memories will never be forgotten.

In memory of our dear friend Betsy...Not only were you a true friend but also a surrogate mother to me when I lived on Hillview Terrace in Denville, next door to you and Stan. My own Mom was thousands of miles away waiting with my Dad for their paperwork to go through so they could join us here in Denville. In the meantime, you filled that role with such kindness, helpfulness, generosity in giving of yourself even though you had a family of your own. Friendships like these are hard to come by but you were a true friend. We have such wonderful memories of good times spent together. There were more funny stories we shared than I could dream of. I regret we didn't talk on the phone as much as I would have liked but when we did, the conversations were long. I knew of some of your health issues but never how it escalated. I was finally going to call you 'this week' but I was too late much to my sadness! Again, even in death you have taught me a lesson - never to procrastinate. You suffered much and it was time for the Lord to take you to Himself and out of suffering in this world. I can just imagine the welcome you received from your beloved Stan, your daughter, and not to forget my own parents who were probably waiting with arms outstretched to greet you into a world without pain but just 'eternal happiness.' May you Rest in Peace, my friend, until we meet again.

I am amazed at what a courageous fighter you were. I will always remember you for your indomitable spirit and your loving kindness. They were the hallmark qualities that made you you. Thank you for all the love through the years especially the tough love in my troubled teenage years. Thank you for the discipline and the firm hand. It has made me who I am today. I'll always remember when I was growing up how your love took away the sting of the cruelness and brutality of the world.
Thank you for teaching me anything worth having is worth waiting for!!! Most of all thank you for making sure that I knew about God and His purpose for us.
Like I told you on Sunday and on many other occasions I'm glad I had you for a mother. You wrote in my Bible 33 years ago may your study of God's word give you an enduring and lasting faith in God.
Congratulations Mom, Mission Accomplished and congratulations on a life WELL lived. You will be missed. Rest well. All my love, Andy.

May you rest in peace and be held in God's and Jesus's comforting embrace and love. I will miss you and our long talks about collectibles which we both loved. You are in God's memory and although you have fallen asleep in death I have faith that we will see each again after the resurrection... May God Bless you always... RIP

Dear Kleinschmidt Family,
Our deepest sympathies in the loss of your Mom. We enjoyed being neighbors to her these past 6 years and always liked her stories about the neighborhood she loved for the past many years. She always called us on Christmas day to wish us well and to say how much she liked looking out her window at our lights. May she rest in Eternal Peace.

Aunt Betsy, When I think of you, I am inundated with happy memories: visits at the bakery, singing on our back porch in Irv, huddling around a campfire in your back yard, camping, laughing with Mom at my baby & bridal showers, Lukes Bday parties, summer parties etc. You were always there every step of the way offering your support in your unassuming manner with your great sense of humor. I always enjoyed our talks. Be at peace and tell the rest of the gang "hello" Until we meet again.. God Bless ! Your niece, Patti, Jay & Luke

Mrs. K, you were almost like a second mother to me with all the time I spent up at the house with Jeff during mine and Jeff's teenage years. Thank you for tolerating the years of hard rock music and other shenanigans that he and I were always up to. Please be at peace.
Love,
Stephen

You blessed my life with love, laughter, kindness and grace, among many, many other things. While I feel so sad to lose you, I'm happy that your suffering is over and that you are with the Lord, at peace. I cannot express enough grattitude for all of your resilience and the sacrificies you made for us all in the face of such adversity. You leave behind a legacy of love that I will continue to pass on to my children, along with your stories and sense of humor. You live inside all of us. People you've touched are better to have known you. Until we laugh together again, rest in peace Mom. God bless you. I love you. - Love Jeff

Our warmest heartfelt sympathy to the Kleinschmidt families. You are in our thoughts, our hearts, and our prayers during this most sorrowful time. Betsy was a pleasure to know, always enjoyed her company, witty conversation, laughing together, family gatherings. We will never forget waiting patiently for dessert each holiday; Betsy made the most delicious pumpkin pie we ever tasted. Your suffering has ended; you are now at rest.
We will miss you. Blessings to your families as they find peace within their cherished memories of you.

Dear Grandma,
I always loved spending time with you and visiting you. I loved to cheer you up by telling you jokes and making you laugh. I loved swinging on the tire swing in your backyard while you sat at the picnic table with my Mom and Dad. You told me stories about Grandpa and how he made the tire-"free" tire swing. You always laughed about that:) I love you Grandma and I'll miss you so much:( XOXO in Heaven
Love,
Jason
