Beth made an impact for those many people. I remember Beth
was a kind friend in high school. My sympathy for her family.
Beth was one of the sweetest, nicest, most caring person I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She always had a kind word for everyone.
My condolences to her family. May she rest in eternal peace.
Mary, I’m so glad you found Beth. This filled a whole in her heart. I miss her and the Bible studies with the chickadees.
