Default Goodbye, Miss Betsy

My favorite and most enthusiastic passenger, Miss Betsy, passed away on Tuesday at the ripe old age of 95 years. We took her for her last ride in Old Henry on Labor Day attempting to drive the scenic Nebo Loop. But, she was so frail and weak that we had to cut the trip short. She could no longer tolerate the ride and never rode again. But, thereafter, she repeatedly asked about Old Henry, how he was doing, and when he was going to be on the road again. She was the epitome of an absolute classy lady that never got old inside and was always looking for adventure. We could all aspire to such. I get the feeling that some of us are also a bit like her in the "never grow old" part. A most amazing woman and I will sorely miss her.

Here are some pictures of her on some of our road trips.
