Dear Iain, Thanks for your email note telling me of the death of Betsy (McNeill) at the age of 99 years. While it is a sad moment for all who knew her and regularly communicated with her. She has left a great legacy of the ancestral family information which she personally knew and passed on to her friends.This will be a great way to remember her. Thanks also for the picture gallery and I think that you may have sent it to me before. With very best wishes, John McNeil -----Original Message----- From: sct-islay-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sct-islay-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Iain MacIntosh via Sent: Friday, 13 March 2015 9:17 PM To: SCT-ISLAY@rootsweb.com Subject: [SCT-ISLAY] Betsy West 1915 - 2015 I thought I'd let you know that Betsy (McNeill) West of Port Wemyss, Islay, died early this morning (13 March), aged 99 years, in Islay Hospital, Bowmore. She had been a family history mentor to many islanders and visitors from far and wide over the years. I, for one, will sorely miss her friendship, hospitality and extensive knowledge of the history of the families of Islay. She lives on in her Photo Gallery: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~steve/islay/betsy/ Regards Iain MacIntosh ------------------------------- Quoting the entire text of a previous message in a reply is poor netiquette.
