A candle has been lit!

Very sorry to hear about Betsy. I remember her friendliness and of course her singing voice from my early time in Athens GA. A great loss to all of her friends and family. She will be missed in such a way.

Dr. Inglesby was such a wonderful person. My wife and I were both students of hers at Montevallo, and she was our absolute favorite. We loved hanging out with her on the Eclipse porch and talking about Joyce. We were so happy when she came to our wedding. God bless you, Dr. Inglesby

Betsy...irreverent, brilliant, gorgeous, an original. When I think of high school, she leaps to the front of the proscenium like a fierce Greek goddess, doing her own thing with beauty, grace, and ferocity without a care for what others thought of her. What an immense loss for the world and her family and friends. Given her magnificent brain, I cannot imagine her suffering and that of those who loved her. Shantih, shantih, shantih, Dear Titania.

We, who are grieving this painful loss, are those who were privileged to have loved and been loved by our beautiful Bets. Now it seems we will have to subsist on fond memories of her vibrancy and the adventures we shared together. Surely one day all of our souls will meet again to fly together with the beloved one that was taken too early

I'm so sorry to get this news! I send my condoleances to Ms Gay Inglesby and to Caroline. I was in the Class of '88 with Betsy and remember her love of life and learning. She was high-energy original with a great singing voice. I still remember when she told me that she had gotten in to UVA! We were in that sqaure-shaped hall where we all had our lockers. She was so happy! When I was at UGA, she came to Athens to stay with a friend (was it Lindsey?) and she told me that I was living in a house that her father had lived in when he was at UGA! We kept in touch after high school, talking to each other once or twice a year by letter or phone. The last time I saw her was in about 94 or 95? My wife was doing a Master's degree in at UGA and Betsy was in her first year in Athens. We four met to have a beer. I say "we four" because Betsy had an attractive boyfriend with her! We haven't been in touch in all these years; but I had always expected to reconnect some day as I got closer to retirement and had more time to come back to the US. I will miss Betsy. Gay and Caroline, please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Best wishes to you. David Tolman, Morlaix France

One of the great joys of teaching is having a student like Betsy, who went on to share her talents and enthusiasm with the fortunate world. Thank you Gay and Caroline.
