I knew Betsy’s friend Debbie Spiegelman and loved hearing Debbie’s voice from time to time in Betsy’s common sense and frequently brave posts. My most sincere condolences to you and yours as you mourn the loss of a woman who became one of my heroes these last few years.

I’m so very sad for this huge loss for her family and for all the people she cared for as a doctor. Her posts were a saving grace for me during Covid and I’m forever grateful.

Much love to you and yours.

During those early disconnected months of the pandemic, Betsy’s posts were a lifeline! I grew to look forward to them, and learned more about her. She was a true educator and medical professional. Every moment of these last four years counted! Last night we listened to the magical voices of The Henry Girls from Donegal here on Seattle. Imagining that their voices reached her!

I am so very sorry to hear this. Betsy's column was always science and good medical advice forward, and others have said this so much better than I have.

I am very sorry for your loss.
